Tenor buffo or spieltenor[edit] A Tenor buffo or spieltenor is a tenor with good acting ability, and the ability to create distinct voices for his characters. This voice specializes in smaller comic roles. The range of the tenor buffo is from the C one octave below middle C (C3) to the C one octave above middle C (C5).[8] The tessitura of these parts ranges from lower than other tenor roles to very high and broad. These parts are often played by younger tenors who have not yet reached their full vocal potential or older tenors who are beyond their prime singing years. Only rarely will a singer specialize in these roles for an entire career.[6] In French opéra comique, supporting roles requiring a thin voice but good acting are sometimes described as 'trial', after the singer Antoine Trial (1737–1795), examples being in the operas of Ravel and in The Tales of Hoffmann.[9] Tenor buffo or spieltenor roles in operas:[6] Count Danilo Danilovitsch, The Merry Widow (Lehár) Don Basilio, The Marriage of Figaro (Mozart) Mime, Der Ring des Nibelungen (Wagner) Don Anchise/ Il Podestà, La finta giardiniera (Mozart) Monostatos, The Magic Flute (Mozart) Pedrillo, Die Entführung aus dem Serail (Mozart) Slender, The Merry Wives of Windsor (opera) (Nicolai) John Styx, Orpheus in the Underworld (Offenbach) Prince Paul, La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein (Offenbach) Kálmán Zsupán, The Gypsy Baron (Strauss II) The Captain, Wozzeck (Berg) The Magician, The Consul (Menotti) Beppe, Pagliacci (Leoncavallo) Frantz, The Tales of Hoffmann (Offenbach) Spoletta, Tosca (Puccini) Goro, Madama Butterfly (Puccini) Pong, Turandot (Puccini) Gastone, La traviata (Verdi) Roderigo, Otello (Verdi) Dr. Caius, Falstaff (Verdi) Gherardo, Gianni Schicchi (Puccini) King Kaspar, Amahl and the Night Visitors (Menotti) Triquet, Eugene Onegin (Tchaikovsky) The Holy Fool, Boris Godunov (Mussorgsky) Pasquale, Orlando paladino (Haydn) Platon Kuzmich Kovalev,The Nose (Shostakovich) 男次高大概是指這種吧,年輕的各種男高在高音區不能完全發揮實力的男高, 音域大概c1~b2、c3,但高音區因為年輕或各種因素還沒辦法開發到full voice
