this is absolutely the right role for her voice. The reasons why people believe she is too dramatic for this, is because the bel canto coloratura roles is often sung by light sopranos today, due to the heavier voices not being schooled for this repertoir in modern times. A even more dramatic voice could sing this. Like Callas, Sutherland, Virginia Zeani and the likes. back in the days also lighter sopranos sung this repertoir But with a different timbre. That would be for example tetrazzini, Carioso, Sayao. But they would also be schooled in the old bel canto technique and sound different from the moderne light coloratura.
La vidi a Roma una decina di anni fa, fu molto brava, e ricordo che concluse quest'aria con un DO lunghissimo... purtroppo ha una voce di scarso volume, che nei teatri grandi la penalizza molto, tanto che il pubblico poco esperto la ritenne "Una delusione"...
To me, this sounds like the wrong rep for her, or else she's singing incorrectly and needs to ease up. She sounds like she's trying to be a dramatic soprano while singing a coloratura aria, and her clarity of pitch and agility suffers for it.
not that she is dramatizing, but she is a true mezzo and tries to sing for high soprano , of course it will be hard for her. I see thousands of mezzos who sing soprano repertoire and ruin their voices, sad. She seems a very nice person, but this is not for her, her voice is heavy because she is mezzo....hope she reads and believes this and changes her repertoire, otherwise she will ruin herself.
That is really a ridiculous comment and just shows that you have no idea what you talking about. Elizabeth Norberg-Schulz had a long and successful career as a highly acclaimed lyric soprano with well chosen repertory at the leading opera houses throughout the world. You need to learn desperately the difference between a lyric soprano and a soubrette.
Bravissima!!!!

Most clueless comment ever.

Bravissima !
