Soprano
The highest female vocal range in singing, typically spanning from middle C to two octaves above. In musical theatre and opera, sopranos often play heroines, ingénues, and romantic leads. The range subdivides into lyric soprano (warm, agile), dramatic soprano (powerful, rich), and coloratura soprano (extremely high, ornamental). Many of the most iconic musical theatre roles—Elphaba, Maria, Christine—are written for sopranos.
