An introduction to opera's voice types (The Royal Opera)

A selection of singers share their skills from the lowest voice type to the highest, demonstrating the power of the bass, baritone, tenor, mezzo-soprano, countertenor and soprano voices.

The Mezzo is beyond wonderful. A rare powerful and beautiful, and balanced voice with rich but not wobbly vibrato. Strong in her low notes, and no strain in her high notes. Wonderful.

The bass was the purest energy Youtube has ever seen.

Everyone talking about how the soprano acts, but can we note that this tenor is the most tenor who ever tenored?

[nitztan]

Okay people. Let's appreciate a bassist for awhile.

[aleahlrb]

People always praise sopranos for reaching the high notes most cannot reach, but people, let us praise basses as well. Just like sopranos, they can get to notes most people cannot get to.

There is a bass in my school choir that is just amazing. It always amazes me whenever I hear him sing solo (which is usually during our practice). Basses' voices are as enchanting as soprano voices.

EDIT: Holy shit, when'd this get 900 likes?!

listening to the mezzo soprano cleared my skin and got me straight A’s

[sitcomchristian]

My gosh, that mezzo was breathtaking :)

[meganpayne]

The soprano acts like every soprano I know 😂

[willcoleman]

They needed a Contralto here. Contraltos need more representation because they’re so under appreciated and when done right they sound so beautiful.

[LatinaKamilla]

The mezzo had the most beautiful and controlled RICH sounding voice by FAR!!! The bass and tenor were good as well.

Hands down the mezzo was outstanding. She had complete control over the singing muscles in her body. So she didn't have jerky movements or any tension in her neck, jaw, or tongue. She was also the only one who knew you don't need to have your mouth open wide all the time as her voice was placed properly to be big and beautiful using her resonance.

Sopranos act like the first violins of the opera 😂

[Dailylilyful]

That mezzo just made my day better and blessed my life. Gosh she's so amazing.

[xoxolilyrc]

Tbh I don’t see enough love for the bassist my god he was amazing

[werqdivapop]

That mezzo-soprano is definitely a legend. The cleanest, healthy vibrato and a voice the pours like honey. Ugh to have a voice like that.

[kamilee]

How do people sing like this? They make it seem so effortless like how do actual human beings produce sound this good? I'm a violinist so this is far beyond me, but props to all classically trained vocalists out there, I could never do what any of you do.

[blissgirl]

We can all agree the mezzo stole the show: true control, true refinement, real talent!

We have a bunch of singing experts down in the comment section.

I like how the Bass just "Jedi Force" the Soprano away from the mic! 😂

[christinem]

The bass has to be my favorite! Such a shame they didn't have a contralto, I would have loved to hear a contralto aria snippet! I've only ever heard a handful of contralto singers, they really impress me
