Hi Soprano! I loved your take on Christine’s vocal technique/explanation of Bel Canto and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. In that vein, I’d love to hear your take on a male opera singer(s) who you think might have an Erik-comparable voice? I’ve always been fascinated how Leroux described his voice like thunder and that of an angel simultaneously. I’d love to hear your opinion 😊 thanks!
Hi! This is a really amazing question!
Based on several facts from Leroux’s novel, Erik was definitely a tenor. But what kind of tenor? Raoul described his voice as a very beautiful, gentle, captivating voice… but despite its lyric sweetness it was a male voice, definitely not a woman’s. Christine, at the rooftop, said that his voice was explosive when they sang together a duet from Rossini’s (not Verdi’s) Otello. So, we know that Erik had a big voice with a lyric timbre, but he could also sing more dramatically—in the novel his singing is described as highly emotional. This is a typical description of a spinto tenor. I’d also add that he was singing in the verismo style, as verismo is known for its extreme emotional expression. Interestingly, the very first verismo opera premiered in 1890, a few years after the events in Leroux’s novel, and in my opinion, this suits Erik as a character because he was always innovative.
The greatest spinto tenor was undoubtedly Enrico Caruso, who was also the best tenor to have ever lived (or at least the best among those whose voices were recorded). His voice was truly miraculous. If Erik’s voice was extraordinary and phenomenal, Caruso is the only singer I can compared him to. But if we lower our expectations just a little, other amazing spinto tenors would be Franco Corelli, Giacomo Lauri-Volpi, and Carlo Bergonzi.
