Det finns så mycket gammalt mög - en intervjustudie av sopraners arbetsverklighet i operakören
Abstract
This thesis aims to examine performative aspects within Fach/voice types using interviews with three sopranos as source material. My goal is to understand how these aspects affect the work in an opera chorus. I have focused on each voice part’s role in the chorus to reflect on how opera traditions and the opera industry contribute to inequality in the opera chorus. I conclude that the Fach/voice part affects the sopranos in the chorus in multiple ways. Opera traditions and the opera industry contribute to inequality for the sopranos in the opera chorus in a range of ways, for example fewer opportunities for performing small roles in opera productions
compared with tenors and basses.
