Tenore di grazia

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Tenore di grazia, also called leggero tenor

Il barbiere di Siviglia; and those by Bellini such as Gualtiero in Il pirata, Elvino in La sonnambula and Arturo in I puritani.[4][5][6] Many Donizetti roles, such as Nemorino in L'elisir d'amore and Ernesto in Don Pasquale, Tonio in La fille du régiment, are also tenore di grazia roles. One of the most famous leggero tenors of that period was Giovanni Battista Rubini, for whom Bellini wrote nearly all his operas.[7][8][9]

Classification and range

The tenor leggero voice is often misclassified. There are several reasons for this, the first being the lower

High C and goes up to as high as the singer is comfortable with, normally E above High C and sometimes to F♯ or G.[19][21][22] The highest vocal range needed in opera for this voice type is F above Tenor High C.[23][24] This is sung as part of the role of Arturo in I puritani.[25][26][27][28]

The light French lyric tenor is also often confused with the leggero tenor.[29][30] Examples of the French tradition of a light and lyrical voice can be found in roles such as Georges Brown in La dame blanche, Chapelou in Le postillon de Lonjumeau, Nadir in Les pêcheurs de perles, Vincent in Mireille, and Gérald in Lakmé.[3][22][31][32][33]
