Od anielskiego śpiewu do ochrypłego krzyku. Przemiany solistów operowych i ich współczesne oblicze
From the Angelic voice to the Hoarse Cry. The Transformations of the Opera Soloists and Their Modern Faces

Summary/Abstract: From the very beginning opera underwent transformations, keeping up with the changing world. The seemingly homogeneous form developed into different subgenres, tailored to the needs of their specific audiences. The notion of an opera soloist evolved together with the form. In this way a soloist transformed from a castrato with an angelic voice, singing both male and female parts, to a rock man performing a rock -opera. The development of technology and the marriage of opera with popular music established a new face of an opera singer.
