Definitions

  1. singing with florid ornamentation

Word origin

Borrowed from Italian coloratura, from Late Latin colōrātūra, from colōrāre (“to colour”).

Used in a sentence

  • The singing is generally excellent, with Simon Keenlyside standing out for his richly vocalized (and amusingly dour) Papageno and Diana Damrau for her spot-on coloratura and genuine venom as the Queen of the Night.
  • The middle one, of course, was the coloratura Julia Kristeva, known as the most voluptuous Salome in the business.
  • She has a lighter and more coloratura voice.
