Anyone here know anything about opera? Are the female villains always altos? - robkelk - 04-13-2022
Apparently, opera villainesses are usually altos. Can anybody provide some examples of this, preferably in a format similar to "Alice in Alice and Bob is written for an alto", please?
I'll take examples from musicals (stage or film), too...

..... That might be something you should take up with someone who teaches music appreciation in your local community college.
(No worries - these guys are almost to a man huge music nerds. You might actually need to find a reason to break off the conversation.)
