Description:

Here are some famous opera sopranos singing the 12 notes of the 6th octave, the soprano octave. This octave is mostly female territory. Some males have entered the lower end of this octave by use of male head voice or strong falsetto but above E6 their sound is too thin (e.g. whistle), compared to the female head voice. 1. Birgit Nilsson singing a C6 in "O patre mia". 2. Beverly Sills singing a C#6 in "vieni fra queste". 3. Kathleen Battle singing a D6 in the Grossmächtigen Prinzessin aria. 4. Maria Callas singing a Eb6 in the mad scene. 5. Leontyne Price singing a E6 in "caro nome". 6. Natalie Dessay singing a F6 from "voix du printemps". 7. Natalie Dessay singing a F#6 from aria "duo de la mouche" by Offenbach. 8. Natalie Dessay singing two short G6 from the popoli di Tessaglia aria. 9. Natalie Dessay singing a G#6 from the aria "ombre legere" by Meyerbeer. 10. Mado Robin singing a A6 from her best of CD. 11. Mado Robin singing a Bb6 from her best of CD. 12. Mado Robin singing a B6 from the mad scene. 13. Marie-Sol Chevalier singing a C6 and then a C7! Enjoy!

Dessay has the best high notes in the video by far!!! Some of the other women made me cringe but her high notes were beautiful and sculpted.

The bonus track you get for buying the album online - "Mercè, Dilette Amiche" She did a live rendition in 2005 at a concert in Paris, but she wasn't too hot that night. Her high note in that piece and in "Sovra il Sen" were pretty bad.

They sound like screams...even though I know they're superhead notes. I prefer Mariah's airy whistles, more melodic.

These women are using a completely different technique than the one Mariah Carey uses. Mariah's is higher because she closes her vocal cords more.

Yes, I loved it! Her Sonnambula cd is amazing. I recommend it. Also, on the bonus track of her Italian Opera Arias album, she hits a high E natural. Definitely still has it.

I think someone may have posted this, but I believe Battle and Sills BOTH sang a D. I could be wrong, but the 'Puritani' duet is in the original key in this clip, which would be a D.

You forget actually not only from soprano dramatico, but actually mezzo and contralto roles as well ;)

Is not about loudest, is about pitch not dynamic.
