Dugazons take their name from the types of operatic parts French mezzo-soprano Louise-Rosalie Lefebvre (also known as Madam Dugazon) would often take, now given to dark-timbre sopranos and lighter-timbre mezzo-sopranos. A modern example of a dugazon would be Cora Canne Meijer. Given Del Rey's timbre, range, and tessitura, as well as her lack of coloratura, she could likely take a dugazon operatic part.
