Mezzo-soprano

A mezzo-soprano or mezzo (, ; meaning "half soprano") is a type of classical female singing voice whose vocal range lies between the soprano and the contralto voice types. The mezzo-soprano's vocal range usually extends from the A below middle C to the A two octaves above (i.e. A3–A5 in scientific pitch notation, where middle C = C4). In the lower and upper extremes, some mezzo-sopranos may extend down to the F below middle C (F3) and as high as "high C" (C6).
The mezzo-soprano voice type is generally divided into the coloratura, lyric, and dramatic mezzo-soprano.
== History ==
While mezzo-sopranos typically sing secondary roles in operas, notable exceptions include the title role in Bizet's ''Carmen'', Angelina (Cinderella) in Rossini's ''La Cenerentola'', and Rosina in Rossini's ''Barber of Seville'' (all of which are also sung by sopranos). Many 19th-century French-language operas give the leading female role to mezzos, including ''Béatrice et Bénédict'', ''La damnation de Faust'', ''Don Quichotte'', ''La favorite'', ''Mignon'', ''Samson et Dalila'', ''Les Troyens'', and ''Werther'', as well as ''Carmen''.
Typical roles for mezzo-sopranos include the stereotypical triad associated with contraltos of "witches, bitches, and britches": witches, nurses, and wise women, such as Azucena in Verdi's ''Il trovatore''; villains and seductresses such as Amneris in Verdi's ''Aida''; and "breeches roles" (male characters played by female singers) such as Cherubino in Mozart's ''Le nozze di Figaro''. Mezzo-sopranos are well represented in baroque music, early music, and baroque opera.〔 Some roles designated for lighter soubrette sopranos are sung by mezzo-sopranos, who often provide a fuller, more dramatic quality. Such roles include Despina in Mozart's ''Così fan tutte'' and Zerlina in his ''Don Giovanni''. Mezzos sometimes play dramatic soprano roles such as Santuzza in Mascagni's ''Cavalleria rusticana'', Lady Macbeth in Verdi's ''Macbeth'', and Kundry in Wagner's ''Parsifal''.
