Opera Voice Types with OPERA LOCOS! The Mezzo, portrayed by Mayca Teba A mezzo or mezzo-soprano is the middle singing voice, coming right between soprano and contralto. While mezzos can be seductive heroines (like Carmen or Delilah), composers also often use these voices to portray mothers, caretakers, and villainesses. Some mezzo singers with lighter voice qualities are used to play pre-adolescent male characters, also called “pants roles.” Famous mezzo-soprano roles: Rosina from Rossini’s The Barber of Seville, Carmen from George Bizet’s Carmen, and Amneris from Verdi’s Aida Famous mezzo-soprano singers: Cecilia Bartoli, Joyce DiDonato, and Elīna Garanča.
Opera Voice Types with OPERA LOCOS! The Baritone, portrayed by Enrique Sánchez-Ramos The baritone is the most common type of male voice sitting midway between the high tenor voice and the low bass voice. In comedic operas, he is often the leader of the funny business, but he can also be the hero, who sacrifices himself for the tenor or soprano, or the villain. Many of the most exciting male roles in operas are sung by baritones. The term baritone itself comes from the Greek for "barys"—meaning "deep" or "low"—and "tonos" for "tone." Famous baritone roles: Count Almaviva from Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, Figaro from Rossini’s The Barber of Seville, Toréador Escamillo in Bizet's Carmen, and Marcello from Puccini’s La Bohème. Famous baritone singers: Sherrill Milnes, Mariusz Kwiecień, and José Van Dam.

Dedicated in her memory and inspired by her passion, we hope that you too will feel Sharon’s love and excitement for entertainment throughout this beautiful theater.
