Contralto roles in opera

True operatic contraltos are rare, and the operatic literature contains few roles written specifically for them. Contraltos sometimes are assigned feminine roles like Angelina in La Cenerentola, Rosina in The Barber of Seville, and Olga in Eugene Onegin, but more frequently they play female villains or assume trouser roles originally written for castrati. A common saying among contraltos is that they may play only "witches, bitches, or britches."^[5]
Examples of contralto roles in the standard operatic repertoire include the following:^[5].

Angelina*, La Cenerentola (Rossini) Art Banker, Facing Goya (Michael Nyman) Auntie*, landlady of The Boar, Peter Grimes (Britten) Azucena*, Il trovatore (Verdi) The Baroness, Vanessa (Barber) La Cieca, La Gioconda (Ponchielli) Erda, Das Rheingold, Siegfried (Wagner) Madame Flora, The Medium (Gian Carlo Menotti) Fides, Le prophète (Giacomo Meyerbeer) Gloria Mills, Axel an der Himmelstür (Ralph Benatzky) Katisha, The Mikado (Gilbert and Sullivan) Klytemnestra*, Elektra (Strauss) Maddalena*, Rigoletto (Verdi) Mama Lucia, Cavalleria rusticana (Mascagni) Malcolm*, La donna del lago (Rossini) Margret, Wozzeck (Berg) Mary, Der fliegende Holländer (Wagner)
