Shirley Verrett’s voice type

Shirley Verrett was born on 31 May 1931. Some people like the labels for the voices and defined her as a Falcon, but Verrett exceeded this category too. Even if I think that this tessitura was not the only thing that made her so special and rare. Highlights of l’Africaine, Don Carlo, Médée, Norma, Oedipus Rex, Brahms Serious songs, Il Trovatore, Exultate Jubilate, Orphée & Eurydice, L’Assedio di Corinto, Don Carlo, Ruhe meine Seele, Médée, Aida, Verdi Requiem, Macbeth.
