Type of classical female singing voice
Mezzo-soprano (Italian: [ˌmɛddzosoˈpraːno], lit. 'half soprano'), or mezzo (English: MET-soh), is a type of classical female singing voice whose vocal range lies between the soprano and the contralto voice types. The term also serves to designate the singers specialized in or adept at this type. The mezzo-soprano's vocal range usually extends from the A below middle C to the A two octaves above (i.e. A3–A5 in scientific pitch notation, where middle C = C4; 220–880 Hz). In the lower and upper extremes, some mezzo-sopranos may extend down to the F below middle C (F3, 175 Hz) and as high as "high C" (C6, 1047 Hz). The mezzo-soprano voice type is generally divided into coloratura, lyric, and dramatic.
