"coloratura" designation[edit]

In response to a recent change that was reverted: the Durand score refers to the Feu/Princesse/Rossignol voice as "soprano léger", which is a lyric coloratura. For example, in fr:Soprano: "Le soprano léger, parfois appelé soprano coloratura...". Other roles are specified as simply "soprano". I agree with the reversion; "coloratura soprano" is a good translation. David Brooks (talk) 21:07, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

L'enfant et les sortilèges (The Child and the Spells) is a one-act opera in two scenes with music by Maurice Ravel and a libretto by Colette. It is the story of a child who is reprimanded by the objects in his room after he has been destroying them in a tantrum; the second scene shows the garden where the child attempts to make friends with the animals and plants but they reject his advances because of his past behaviour. These two sets were designed for the première at the Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique in Paris, which took place on 1 February 1926.
