Basic Trope: Innocent and pure female characters sing in the soprano range.
- Straight: Sophie is The Ingenue heroine of Tropers: The Musical. She's beautiful, kind, and naive, and fittingly has a lyric soprano voice.
- Exaggerated: Sophie not only sings in soprano, she talks in a very high head voice too.
- Downplayed: Sophie is a mezzo, but all the other female characters are altos, so her voice is still the highest female voice.
- Justified: ???
- Inverted: Sophie is The Ingenue, but sings in the alto range.
- Subverted: Sophie is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing.
- Double Subverted: That was just an imposter impersonating Sophie, and the real Sophie sings as high, pure, and clear as ever while still being good and pure.
- Parodied:
- Sophie, an alto, does a Heel–Face Turn and is then replaced with a soprano actress.
- Sophie loses her virginity and her voice drops an octave.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- No one sings in soprano.
- All the female characters, innocent or otherwise, sing in soprano.
- Enforced:
- The producers don't think Sophie's Counterpoint Duet with Alto Villainess Alice sounds good; they would prefer that Sophie be a soprano so the contrast is clearer.
- The producers believe in Evil Sounds Deep, and so say Sophie must be a soprano.
- Lampshaded: "Of course Sophie's an innocent virgin, she's a soprano."
- Invoked: Tropers: The Musical is a Show Within the Show that homages old-time musicals, so to stick with the tradition, the playwright writes Sophie as a soprano.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: The actress playing Sophie hates being typecast as the ingenue just because she's a soprano and demands changes to the role.
- Discussed: "Sophie's an innocent virgin soprano, just like in all those other musicals."
- Conversed: "Ever notice how all sopranos are innocent virgins?"
