The lyric tenor is a warm graceful voice with a bright, full timbre that is strong but not heavy and can be heard over an orchestra. Lyric tenors have a range from approximately the C one octave below middle C (C<sub>3</sub>) to the D one octave above middle C (D<sub>5</sub>). Similarly, their lower range may extend a few notes below the C<sub>3</sub>. There are many vocal shades to the lyric tenor group, repertoire should be selected according to the weight, colors, and abilities of the voice.

[[Gilbert Duprez]] (1806–1896) was a historically significant dramatic<ref>https://books.google.com/books?id=Qeq1AQAAQBAJ&pg=PA459</ref> tenor. He was the first tenor to sing on stage the operatic [[high C]] from the chest (''ut de poitrine'') as opposed to using [[falsettone]]. He is also known for originating the role of Edgardo in ''Lucia di Lammermoor''.
