Of course. the original Lilli/Kate was Patricia Morison, whom I believe was classified as a mezzo.
...which correlated with my comment about Kate/Lilli being a heftier role vocally.
In operatic terms (and I know they are different from musical theatre classifications) a mezzo does need good command above the staff. (Roles like Amneris and Azucena come to mind immediately - both roles call for solid climactic high A's. Marian doesn't need an A at all, lol.)
We can argue over tessituras, but there's probably no point lol. It's not that big of a thing. But I do think that Marian is a less demanding singing role than Lilli. |
