I'm sure most full lyric or lyric-spinto can sing all 3 of these.

True, though we all have personal tastes as to voice types singing particual repertoire. I have heard people ruin their voices singing repertoire that is too big or look like a fish out of water singing repertoire that their voice can't handle (pun intended) because their voice was big and slow.

You are absolutely right. It's important to stay within limits .I haven't developed a taste for small voices singing large rep but i love to hear big voices sing coloratura so does my cat. Callas singing Lucia di Lammermoor or Sonnambula,Traviata, Norma etc. Wooooah mama! I would really love an article from you brycethetenor on vocal care basic and tips . That would be greatly appreciated

That wouldn't be a bad voice to steal, now would it?

Nope. Just about as versatile a voice as it gets, I think. :o) I was listening to her 1989 'Rinaldo' the other day and the gal was just awesome... at some 59 yrs old.

And Adam Fisher was conducting as if he was in a speed contest. I mean, the guy couldn't be pled into letting his singers breath. And Marilyn Horne... that 59 yrs old kid still went for some really elaborated coloratura work on Rinaldo's last bravura aria near the end.. 'Or la tromba'. The gal had balls....
