By: coryisawake. on 24 Nov 11, 07:15:21 @rlee1976 Well, Bonney didn't make a career off of distracting audiences from flawed technique by egregiously high notes like Dessay..and has said in interviews that she always fought teachers who tried to make her lose the? youthful quality of her voice.
I guess that's why Bonney continues to sing gorgeously today and that younger singer has had countless vocal operations and continues to disfigure opera casts around the world and lower standards for? certain roles at this very moment.

Women do sing the castrati's roles now, too, but "trouser role" is really only meant to apply to the roles written that way.

It's just the nature of her voice, I know, but it's friggin annoying after awhile. This voice is much more natural-sounding and lovely. Sorry to bring ND into the picture... I know it is blasphemous to do so in the presence of lovely La Bonney!

The ones from the baroque period? mostly were (they used to be sung by castrati), but the ones from classical period onward generally weren't (and especially not Octavian, who was sort of modeled after Cherubino)... with a few exceptions, or course (like Sesto in La clemenza di Tito or Idamante in Idomeneo).
You're right about Ms. Bonney indeed. :o)

No. Those woman? singing with Bonney are in "trouser" roles---roles originally written for men. Since men can no longer sing that high anymore due to the discontinuation of its practice, mezzo-soprano woman who have half alto and half soprano ranges now play the men roles. "Trouser roles". You will soon find out that there are many trouser roles for many different operas-not just for Bonney's performances. :) It was nice for you to be curious about it! P.S. Bonney has been married

I've watched many of her vids and checked out some of her recordings. Seems like she performs almost exclusively with other females. Is she....um.....well....is she a lesbian? *I am just curious----not trying to discredit in any way---just curious.

I heartly agree with Dame Kiri showing some cleaveage but did you see the one with Fleming, Graham and Schafer? Where KTK , TT and Blegen are more sensous, Graham, Fleming and Schaefer are more PHYSICAL! They actuallly kiss each other. Also, Christina Schaefer does a wonderful? Sophie to Susan Graham's last offical (yeah, right) Octavian. This Kavalier will always be my fave but you have to check the others out. Great fun and wonderfully sung.

It's always nice to imagine how operas would sound if things were shaken up a bit. Sometimes it misfires - Richter's Giulio Cesare (1970) comes immediately to mind :)

None taken. Itsgood to have someone else know the difference between range and timbre. Getting the facts straight never hurts only helps. Maybe I am a bit biased because I sing contralto and do radio spots now? and then. PeaceOut
None taken. I fully ... By: RRydnew. on 04 Jun 10, 21:46:59 None taken. I fully understand the syntax and the semantics yet, I just find it easier to say "range" because I live here in? Dallas and its a small but very appreciative market. Here that word is applied to singers and how they sound/interpret just as it applied to terrain. EVERYTHING on that range is considered. Hopefully, you werent being sarcastic. I wasnt. I still think a contralto would be interesting but the entire opera would have to be keyed down to accomidate.
@RRydnew After ... By: andrea585ny. on 04 Jun 10, 03:15:14 @RRydnew After watching this scene a few times I went back and read older posts. After re-reading my post? and your post from a few months ago I see that I wrote range/tessitura instead of range/timbre. Must have been thinking a sentence ahead. My bad. But I still stick by the fact that there is a difference between range/tessitura. The former being a general term and the latter a specific term. I'll proof-read next time :) Peace
@RRydnew Sorry ... By: andrea585ny. on 04 Jun 10, 02:24:19 @RRydnew Sorry didn't? mean to offend. How it was explained to me a million years ago: Range = the number of notes a singer's voice encompasses. Tessitura = the specific range of pitches in a given role. Horne and Troyanos have basically the same range but the differences in timbre make the tessitura of this role a bit dodgy for Horne. I have no doubt that if Marilyn sang this role it would have been transposed down as it would not have rested comfortably in the meatiest part of her voice. Cheers
@andrea585ny
What ... By: RRydnew. on 04 Jun 10, 01:18:52 @andrea585ny
What about Upshaw? I still say (despite the composition and Troyanos' wonderful voice) the contralto would suit the role better. A touch? more masculine without being too low. BTW my Choirmaster says range or tessitura is acceptable. Well, he must have missed the lesson at Julliard.
I agree rlee1976. I ... By: andrea585ny. on 15 Feb 10, 02:57:22 I agree rlee1976. I really wish people would stop using "range" when the correct term is "tessitura" And the tessitura of this role is too high for many mezzos let alone a contralto. Would people really rather see Horne in this?
I'll take tall, dark? and handsome (not to mention sensually voiced) Troyanos over short, plump and cherubic Horne any day.
I love Jackie but I wouldn't want to see her as Octavian.
Troyanos was ... By: rlee1976. on 24 Jan 10, 03:24:52 Troyanos was glorious in this role!? Name me any mezzo of our time today who can match her artistry and musicianship? Some come close but cannot match it!
What the heck are ... By: rlee1976. on 24 Jan 10, 03:22:43 What the heck are you guys talking about? I have the score and it says "soprano"? for Octavian in it! Even lyric mezzos have a hard time getting up to the high A's that are in this role, let alone contraltos. A contralto voice would not fit a 16 or 17 year old boy's aura when personifying this role.
Yes, I know that ... By: RRydnew. on 11 Jan 10, 22:50:40 Yes, I know that both roles were composed for mezzos and yet I still would like to hear a contralto do this role. I think it would sound better and more like a young man whose voice has already broken and is now just leveling out to the adult male range. You just cant? do that with a mezzo unless they have the range of a Marlyn Horne.
I know, it seems ... By: oOcallasOo. on 11 Jan 10, 21:12:45 I know, it seems just so much more practical using a contralto for this role. But Octavian is in many aspects similar to the role of Cherubino in Mozart's Figaro - those boys are on? the verge of manhood, not quite childs yet not quite adults. Both roles have been written exclusively for mezzos - look it up, neither composer even considered a contralto. In my opinion, it makes the roles far more erotically charged to have them sung as breeches parts...
No matter how many ... By: RRydnew. on 24 Oct 09, 21:55:41 No matter how many times I see this opera, I am still amazed that they would use a mezzo rather than a contralto for Octavian. I know finding a true contralto in this biz is like trying to find an recent english champion? at Wimbeldon but...I never liked mezzos in this role.

Fun Fact: Apparently Kiri never has her recitative memorized, and there's a big "Will she pull it off?" question at each opening night. Those prompters are working extra? hard when she's onstage!
That said - Kiri's a BEAUTIFUL singer. I prefer Renee though. She's a true professional, and a gorgeous talent.

as it's a light ... By: burtsbees2. on 15 Jul 09, 18:43:10 as it's a light dramatic soprano role, bonney probably shouldn't consider it, though many sopranos that start their careers with sophie understandably feel inclined sentimentally to sing the marschallin later. bonney has already eloquently tried her voice on several of the heavier, epic strauss songs, like die vier letzte, so i wouldn't be surprised if we heard her recording some selections from rosenkavalier as the marschallin? at some point
Marschallin is not ... By: rlee1976. on 29 Jun 09, 12:27:58 Marschallin is not Bonney's fach, she's far too soubrette-esque and never really left that repertoire - she's now all of 53 years old and performs here and there? but not really that active.

By: LohengrinT. on 26 Nov 10, 19:38:05 What kind of device has Fleming in her throat that allows her an uninterrupted perfectly polished sound flow without the slightest compromise in consonant articulation - in all other voices the sound is lowered or thinned or even interrupted during the consonant production but not in the case of Fleming as if the two procedures are totally irrelevant.
The sound flows like a flight in a dream where? the feet never touch the ground

To "conduct" the flute player and then to raise his fist and "stomp off" at the end was pure comedic genius! I am just continually astounded at the versatility, intelligence, and devotion of this great man. To instinctively know exactly what to do and how to sing on stage in order to push every button his audience has is nothing short of other-worldly! There are none to compare.

Pavarotti's version ... By: Agorante. on 17 Sep 10, 21:33:17 Pavarotti's version should be the best on record. But it isn't. Carreras, Wunderlich, and Domingo are better. Of course unlike Domingo and Carreras, Pavarotti could have actually? done it live.
It's very high and has no warm up. Domingo, Carreras, Di Stefano and many others were unlikely to have risked it live.
I think Pavarotti needed to rehearse it more. He doesn't sound like he has it "in the voice" yet. The top sounds tentative rather than soaring.

@whooisodis Just wanted to clarify that not all trouser roles were written for men, though.

You're right about Ms. Bonney indeed. :o)

@whooisodis Thanks for the reply :) To me, it would not make any difference. I was just curious. When? I find someone or something I like, it is interesting to know the history. I appreciate your information and look forward to discovering more about this amazing singer! peace

@technocrash09 No. Those woman? singing with Bonney are in "trouser" roles---roles originally written for men. Since men can no longer sing that high anymore due to the discontinuation of its practice, mezzo-soprano woman who have half alto and half soprano ranges now play the men roles. "Trouser roles". You will soon find out that there are many trouser roles for many different operas-not just for Bonney's performances. :) It was nice for you to be curious about it! P.S. Bonney has been married

I don't know diddly about opera but I? love Bonney's voice. I just have a question. I've watched many of her vids and checked out some of her recordings. Seems like she performs almost exclusively with other females. Is she....um.....well....is she a lesbian? *I am just curious----not trying to discredit in any way---just curious. peace

A lot of praise has already been spoken about these two singers, and truly they deserve it!? Arguebly there is no more exquisite match around anywhere for this duett ...
