lyric tenor
Light male singer
A lyric tenor is a male singing voice combining the tenor range with a light, bright, flexible quality suited to melodic, expressive passages.
The term distinguishes this voice type from heavier dramatic tenors or lighter leggiero tenors.
Lyric tenors typically excel in romantic opera roles and art song: He's a lyric tenor, perfect for Rodolfo in La Bohème.
