My Duet

Mariya and I were assigned an opera scene to do together, and I was given the dramatic coloratura soprano role. I generally try not to get too technical when talking about my Fach (the system used to classify voices beyond simple soprano/mezzo/alto/tenor/bari/bass). For the purpose of being brief, Mozart's Queen of the Night is a dramatic coloratura. And even though my voice seems to be headed in that general direction (I am currently a lyric coloratura soprano, which is slightly lighter and has less power), dramatic sopranos don't mature until late 20s-early 30s. My point being that this is an exceedingly challenging role for me.

I might not put a ton of effort into my schoolwork at large... but I do spend a lot of time on my voice. So yea. Challenge accepted. I'm actually really excited to do this. It could be really amazing if I pull this off. And I'm going to.



If you're interested in hearing how it sounds. Fiordiligi (my part) is sung by Renee Fleming (the one on the right in green).
