What is Patti LuPone’s vocal range?

Patti LuPone's vocal range is commonly cited as E3 to G5 — about 2.3 octaves, or 27 semitones, and is usually classified as mezzo-soprano. Full voice is cited up to around D5; everything above that comes from head voice.

Dark chest-dominant belt, wide vibrato, and a consonant-heavy attack that lands every syllable. That cited span is wider than 19% of the 357 voices in this library.
