What voice type is this singer?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPoqQdSeAXc. What voice type is the female singer (Marie Wells) in this clip? Her voice is very light. As I've mentioned before, I sound a lot like that. My middle range is very light but strong. "Love's adventure SWEET" I thought she could be a light mezzo, given as that role is a mezzo one. But then, I'm not an expert. What does everyone else think?

Is it possible to be a mezzo-soprano with a very light voice? Can anyone more knowledgeable answer this question?

Anyone want to give their opinions?

The clip's archaic quality makes it difficult to analyze her voice type, but the overarching categories of bass, baritone, tenor, alto, mezzo-soprano and soprano definitely have a lot of variation within them and it's quite possible for mezzos to have a light, soprano-esque singing style, especially given that a sufficiently skilled singer can manipulate their vocal colour to a certain extent and take on characteristics of another voice type (an extreme example of this would be Axl Rose, who is naturally a lyric bass but utilizes a bizarre mixture of light, heady singing and rasp/distortion effects to sound like a scratchy high tenor).

@As the Anointed: Funny thing- I sound like that, (my voice is very light) and I can sing that role, which is a mezzo role. BUT- I've been classified as a soprano more recently.
