Characterized by their versatility, they take on a variety of roles that include both feminine and trouser roles, where they embody male characters. Artists such as Frederica von Stade and Shirley Verrett have become synonymous with the genre, showcasing remarkable dexterity and depth, able to convey intense drama and tender subtleties. The classical mezzo-soprano voice resonates with a unique blend of strength and sensitivity, captivating audiences with its dynamic expressiveness.
