A baritone is a type of male singing voice that lies between the bass and tenor ranges. Typically, baritones have a vocal range that spans from the second G below middle C to the G above middle C. This voice type is known for its rich, warm quality and is often featured in various musical genres, including classical, opera, and popular music. In opera, baritones often portray characters with depth and complexity, such as villains or authority figures. Famous baritone roles include Figaro from The Barber of Seville and Don Giovanni from Mozart's opera. Baritones play a crucial role in choral music, providing harmony and depth to vocal ensembles.
