The life of a coloratura soprano

I have my voice back! Yay!!!! I vocalized all the way up to a top f# and I went to down to a good low g. This means nearly 3 full octaves of well projected and good sounding voice.

My queen of the night was good today and I started to work on the last part of Quando rapito in estasi from Lucia di Lammermoor. Not easy at all… It will take a LOT of work to make it sound at least decent…. But I’m confident: I love Lucia and I will work hard on it to achieve my goal!

If you are a native italian speaker your life as an opera singer is soooooooo much easier… :)

So the lesson wasn’t so terrible after all. As expected, I was weak in my abdomen muscles, so my support wasn’t as good as on the other days, but I sounded less metallic than I usually am during my period. High notes weren’t bad to. I went up to my high F for Der holle rache. I soooooooo love to sing the Queen of the night, but I need all my strength to sing it: without my usual power  and volume I fell like I’m not adequate to sing the role. But when I’m fine I feel like that role fits my voice like a glove: fast coloratura, high notes,  evil attitude: my dream role! 

Singing lesson tomorrow morning. I got my period today. Usually at the beginning of the period my abdomen muscles are very tensed. This means that I can’t control my voice as I can do the other days. This is really frustrating, because usually my singing is a complete disaster those days. Let’s see how it will go tomorrow. Wish me luck guys!!!
