Queen - Seven Seas Of Rhye

In the first place, a heroic baritone or bass-baritone should be a great actor, able to create a vivid integral image, reflect the depth of the hero’s experiences. The parts of the bass-baritone are almost exclusively declamatory in nature, respectively, the singer should have impeccable diction. The main parts for this voice in Wagnerian operas are Wotan in The Ring of the Nibelung, The Dutchman in The Flying Dutchman, Hans Sachs in the Nuremberg Mastersingers, Gurnemanz in Parsifal. Wagner makes similar demands on the low bass, which is assigned to all parts of negative characters such as Hagen and Hunding in The Ring of the Nibelung.
