Tenor

In this article, I do not cover the highest male voice of them all… The countertenor.

The Tenor is the highest of the male voices (OK, second to the Countertenor). In many popular operas from the 19th century, he is the hero, the one we, the audience, should cheer on. He’s not always the winner in the end (… Actually. quite often he dies together with his soprano girlfriend.), but he is the good guy, stabbed in the back by the Baritone.
