soprano explained
The highest standard female voice type, with a range typically from C4 to C6 or higher
In Depth
The soprano voice divides into numerous subtypes: lyric (pure, flexible, suited to Mozart and Puccini), dramatic (powerful and penetrating, suited to Verdi and Wagner), coloratura (extraordinarily agile, suited to bel canto and Mozart), soubrette (light and youthful, suited to comic roles), and spinto (lyric with dramatic power for climaxes). The soprano is the most prominent voice in opera, often carrying the leading role, and the highest voice in a standard choir. The passaggio around E5-F5 is the critical technical challenge.
The Queen of the Night aria in Mozart's Magic Flute reaches a top F6 — one of the highest notes demanded in standard operatic repertoire.
