A coloratura soprano is one who can sing such highly ornamented parts.

 [No title]
The difficult coloratura is performed very precisely and on pitch, the voice moves with ease through the difficult melody lines over the orchestra, and it was a pleasure to listen to her sing the challenging aria "Martern aller Arten".
She sang the florid, high-lying music with elan and a clear, bright tone that made her seem something of a find in the coloratura department.
This is a role demanding a complete spectrum of vocal talents, from coloratura flights to pathetic lyricism.

 Opera
Each of these classifications has subcategories, (German, fach), such as lyric soprano, coloratura, soubrette, spinto, and dramatic soprano, which associate the singer's voice with the roles most suitable to the vocal timbre and quality and its range, or tessitura.
Whether the words or the music are paramount has been the subject of debate since the 17th century.

 Opera Shop: Lina Pagliughi
Unlike many present-day coloraturas, Pagliughi never took on the lyric soprano roles, preferring to maintain her true coloratura.
But there have always been sopranos who could do more than that, women who had the passages and the coloratura, who could ascend to the high E or F without resorting to a detached, tricky head voice, and who, in lyrical and dramatic passages, could sing persuasively and beautifully.
It seems a reasonable speculation that they simply sustained into their maturity the sound which had never failed to delight their listeners at the outset of their careers.

 Classical Net Review - Lily Pons - Coloratura Assoluta
All the famous show-stoppers are here: the stunning "Mad Song" from Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, with a nine-minute teaser before the coloratura fireworks; "Ombre légère" ("Shadow Song") from Dinorah, with impressive legato phrasing and dizzying flute dialog; and of course "Où va la jeune hindoue" (the "Bell Song") from Lakmé.
Ex-husband/conductor André Kostelanetz even omits the sound of the key turning to crank her back up.
This signature piece, narrated by Lakmé about a girl protecting Vishnu in a dangerous forest with magic bells, weaves an exotic mood through its ineffable charm.

 Coloratura Sopranos
Smaller voices can be effective if they are able to focus the tone into a laser and sing with sizzle.
Another reason the role is so difficult is that it really wants a big, dramatic voice to embody the power and rage of the character, yet most sopranos who can sing reliable High F's, have smaller coloratura voices.
But Mozart wrote two of the most treacherous arias for this evil character that contain a total of five high F's (the highest note in the standard repertoire).
