Very clear!
I know of a CT who actually did fill in for the indisposed Bass, and
did both sets of arias... all on his debut night as an Alto! Needless
to say, he got a standing O for that :-)
The tenors who can have CT and tenor careers are the ones who already
bring a lot of chest into their CT production, and are used to that
transition (like Werner Marschall and Russell Oberlin). Of course,
these guys would never sing Tonio or anything like that...
