What is the difference between mezzo sopranos and first sopranos?
I think that mezzo-sopranos slightly have heavier and darker tones than first sopranos. First sopranos usually have high-pitched, squeaky singing voices. Sopranos are more comfortable in their higher tessitura and can sing high notes with ease. Mezzo-sopranos have a range intermediate between that of the soprano and contralto.

Can a mezzo soprano play in phantom of the opera musical as Christine?
Christine is a very challenging part to play vocally, largely due to the incredibly high notes that she has to sustain throughout the show. A mezzo-soprano will have a much harder time hitting those notes than a soprano. That being said, if she could hit the high notes then there would be no reason why she couldn't play Christine.

What is alto And soprano in singing?
The difference lies in the range of notes (low to high) that a voice can sing. The standard of classical harmony is based on the notion of having at least four notes in each chord. This allows most chords to to be complete (having all their notes), or at least sufficiently complete, without letting the musical texture become too thick. In choral writing, four voice-parts are needed to provide the necessary notes. The highest voice is called Soprano, the lowest is called Bass. The middle voices are Alto (medium-high) and Tenor (medium low). In a standard four-voice choir, Soprano parts are sung by women or children, Bass parts by men. The middle parts are sung by either men or women, with women preferring Alto and men preferring Tenor. This is simply because as a general rule the vocal chords of men are thicker than those of women, and thicker vocal chords favour lower notes. Most female tenors have trouble with the expected lower range of the tenor part, and similarly most male altos have trouble with the expected top end of the alto range. As female altos and male tenors are the majority, that is what composers and arrangers generally assume. C'est la vie. Professional soloists refer to themselves as "soprano" (high female voice), "tenor" (high male), "bass" (low male). Female altos are usually called "contraltos" and male altos are frequently called "countertenors". A child soloist is usually called a "treble", from the older English name for "soprano". Voices that don't fit into these categories are called "mezzo soprano" (between soprano and alto) and "baritone" (between tenor and bass).
How do you decide if you're a soprano mezzo soprano or alto without using music notes?
For some people, it is clear that their voice is better higher or lower. For others, a choir director may place them in the section where he needs them at the time. This can be particularly confusing for those who have a wide vocal range or who have a bigger voice that needs training. It should be easy to tell if one has a light soprano voice. The ability to hit low notes is not a guarantee that one is an alto (or contralto). A dramatic soprano would also have low notes, but would need training to develop the high notes. A mezzo would be able to vocalize in a similar range to a dramatic soprano, so it is not a simple question of what notes can be reached. A soprano would only spend a little time singing at the lower part of her range. A mezzo would only spend a little time singing at the higher part of her range - like one good high note at the end. A contralto would spend a lot of time singing at the lower part of her range. Voices can also be judged by whether they are brighter or darker. There would be a tendency for a higher voice to be brighter and for a lower voice to be darker, but there are variations within the mezzo category and within the soprano category. Italian dramatic soprano roles tend to be for darker voices than German dramatic soprano roles, even if the range is similar. Rossini mezzo-soprano roles would be brighter than Verdi. There are also "soubrette" roles in Mozart, which might be comfortable for either a light mezzo or a light soprano. The mezzo would probably sound a little more mature than a soubrette, whose voice and looks and personality all emphasize a youthful quality.
