Types of sopranos who have sung the role of Christine in ALW’s musical

Lyric sopranos

Almost all of the actresses

Spinto sopranos (potential)

Rachel Barrell

Elizabeth Loyacano

Marni Raab

Dramatic sopranos

No one (to my knowledge)

(Some people have suggested that Agnete Munk Rasmussen isn’t a lyric soprano, but I can’t find any recordings of her, so I can’t comment on that.)

The difference between soprano types isn’t about timbre but rather the weight and size of the voice:

Lyric sopranos: Light and moderately weight voices

Spinto sopranos: Larger and heavier than lyric sopranos. A spinto voice often has a sharper, piercing quality—like a dagger to your ears.

Dramatic sopranos: Heavier and more powerful than spintos with immense volume and resonance.

I’m not including coloratura sopranos on this list because, first of all, coloratura is not a voice type—it’s a technique. Though in the opera world today, it’s often added to voice type classifications to indicate that someone can sing roles requiring agility, but in the past, this was taken for granted as part of having solid technique.

Secondly, it’s hard to say which Christines could be considered coloraturas. Having a good high E doesn’t automatically make someone a coloratura soprano because coloratura is not about hitting high notes. That title requires mastery of things like trills, portamenti, and fast passages—none of which are really present in Christine’s part.

While some opera singers in this role may have been coloraturas, they were most likely lyric coloratura sopranos.

All the Christines who could qualify as spinto sopranos have noticeably larger voices and sound heavier than other actresses. I’ve labeled them potential spintos because it’s difficult to definitively identify someone as a spinto unless they’ve been trained in opera—classical training alone isn’t enough. They would also need proper opera training before taking on traditional spinto roles.

I love you hated female characters. I love you female characters who are flawed. I love you female characters who mess up and try to do the right thing after. I love you female characters who get the undeserved vitriol from fans. I love you female characters who fans completely condemn because of one mistake they made. I love you female characters who fans completely condemn because of one mistake they made as a child. I love you female characters who people blame for ripping apart their ships instead of the larger forces that be. I love you female characters who get all the hate as the male characters who do worse in canon get absolutely none. I love you female characters who get hated on because they told a man “no.”

You ever notice how, at least in the Phantom of the Opera book, Raoul, Christine and Erik all see the story in completely different genres??

For Raoul, it's obviously Horror and Investigative Drama.

For Christine, it's like... a dark Fairy Tale.

And for Erik, it's a Tragedy.

And idk I feel like that actually also explains a LOT about their behaviours and actions in the book??? D'you see what I mean?!?
