Summary/Abstract: The dramatic repertoire calls for special voices with an extraordinary adaptability, whether we talk about Verdi's or Puccini's compositions. Born or obtained by technique and study, these remarkable abilities are as follows: agility, enough volume to overcome the orchestra, dramatic high-power accents, pianissimo on long phrases, high-woven (tessitura), good representation of the low and medium register, and generally a darker color of the voice. Generally, the typologies of dramatic roles can be divided into dramatic coloratura roles and dramatic line roles. The dramatic coloratura roles, we encounter especially at Giuseppe Verdi, while in the verist repertoire the vast majority of the roles present, are dramatic line roles. I chose as the representative roles Abigail from Nabucco and Aida from Aida by Giuseppe Verdi.
