Soprano: management agency for sopranos

The soprano is the female (and, in the case of sopranists, also male) voice type characterised by the highest range. Within this voice type the operatic tradition distinguishes many subcategories: lyric soprano, light-lyric, coloratura, lyric-spinto and dramatic soprano, each with a different colour, weight and agility.

This variety makes the soprano the most versatile voice on stage: it can tackle the brilliant virtuosity of coloratura as well as the dramatic stamina of the great Verdi and Wagner roles. Accurately recognising one's own vocal nature is the first step toward building a coherent repertoire and a lasting career.

The soprano repertoire spans the entire history of opera: the Countess and Susanna in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro and Donna Anna in Don Giovanni; Violetta in La Traviata, Gilda in Rigoletto and Verdi's Aida; Mimì and Musetta in La Bohème, Tosca and Madama Butterfly by Puccini; Lucia di Lammermoor and the bel canto Norma; through to the great heroines of Strauss and Wagner. Depending on the vocal subcategory, each soprano builds her own path among these titles.
