There are a lot of lyric soprano roles. Are you a full lyric or a light lyric
or what? How old are you? I'm sure Karen has at her fingertips a list of the
different roles for each fach so I'll just say that as a lyric, there is work
to be had.
Beverly Sills once spoke about doing an ill-advised AIDA for Cleveland Opera (or
Lyric Opera Cleveland, can't remember which) and said it was like a guppy
pretending to be a whale. You are what you are - you may develop into a heavier
voice type as you grow older - or you may not. You have to accept what you are
and what you can do with it.

Subject: [vocalist] Lyric Soprano vs Dramatic Soprano...
MiAu... ^o.o^
Hi... I m new around here ^^ so I hope somebody can help me with one
lil question which haunted me for quite a while...
I had 2 years of vocal training and it seems that my voice is lyric
soprano (thats what my teacher said...). I read some articles and
learnt that lyric sopranos wouldn't get a major part in Opera
performances... This makes me pretty sad... hix hix... But then I
heard again that it is possible to 'transfer' from lyric soprano to
dramatic soprano (which is the vocal range for most major role in
Operas)...
Can anyone please help me solve this thingy whingy...
Thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' ^O.o^
