The contralto voice in opera and classical music has a range which typically lies between the F below middle C (F3) to two Fs above middle C (F5). In the lower and upper extremes, some contralto voices can sing from the E below middle C (E3) to two Bs above middle C (B5).〔McKinney (1994)〕 The contralto voice has the lowest tessitura of the female voices and is noted for its rich and deep vocal timbre.〔Appelman (1986)〕 True operatic contraltos are very rare.〔Meyers (1996)〕 The following is a list of contralto singers who have regularly performed unamplified classical or operatic music in concert halls and/or opera houses.〔Unless otherwise indicated all names on this list appear in either Jander ''et al.'' or Meyers (1996)〕 ==A–L== *Eunice Alberts (1927-2012) *Marietta Alboni (1826–1894) *Marian Anderson (1897–1993) *Fanny Anitùa (1887–1969) *Cecil Arden (1894–1989) *Eula Beal (1919–2008)〔''San Francisco Chronicle'', ("Garnett, Eula Beal" ), 3 August 2008〕 *Marianne Brandt (1842–1921)〔Hall (2002) p. 725〕 *Karin Branzell (1891–1974)〔Hall (2002) p. 1093〕 *Muriel Brunskill (1899–1980)〔''The Musical Times,'', "Muriel Brunskill", Vol. 121, No. 1646 (Apr., 1980), p. 267〕 *Clara Butt (1872–1936) *AnnaMaria Cardinalli (1979-) *Lili Chookasian (1921-2012)〔 *Belle Cole (1845–1905)〔''The New York Times'', ("Death of Belle Cole" ), 6 January 1905, p. 9〕 *Kate Condon (1877–1941) *Clorinda Corradi (1804–1877)〔Rutherford (2006) p. 175〕 *Kathleen Ferrier (1912–1953) *Maureen Forrester (1930–2010)〔''The Canadian Encyclopedia'', ("Forrester, Maureen" )〕 *Anna Girò (''b'' circa 1710/1711;''d'' 1748 or later)〔Talbot, Michael, ''Girò (), Anna (Maddalena), in Sadie, Stanley (ed), ''The New Grove Dictionary of Opera'' (II, p. 433).
