On this episode, I'm flying solo. We take a brief pause from working through operas to have an "Opera Appreciation" lesson on the different types of voices in operatic singing. These come from the German Fach system for categorizing voices by their range and depth. Beyond the currently sung voice types, I'll also get into the unfortunate history of the castrato voice and why it's no longer in existence. As I cover each voice type, you'll hear examples from operas this show has already covered and learn names of current singers from the soprano, mezzo-soprano, contralto, tenor, baritone, bass-baritone, baritone, and countertenor types.

Connect with me on Instagram @opera.apero and on Twitter @OperaApero.
