Darker and more velvety than the soprano, higher and nimbler than the contralto, the mezzo-soprano voice is blessed with a remarkable repertoire—from dramatic roles like Charlotte in Werther to the cheeky Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro, Caesar himself in Handel's Giulio Cesare, an epic symphonic duet in Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde… Explore some of the most memorable mezzo roles and arias with opera legends of our day like Cecilia Bartoli, Joyce DiDonato, Marianne Crebassa—plus legends Teresa Berganza, Christa Ludwig, Janet Baker, and many more!
