What is the highest note a normal soprano 1 should be able to hit??

Question:if you are able to reach the upper flageolet register, then you have tapped into an area of your voice that not too many women can realize. Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey have been known to use this part of their voices, but classical singing doesn't get up that high that often.
In choral works, there are many high Bbs and even a couple of high Cs to contend with. In the opera chorus literature there is one high D ( but it's a seldom played work), and plenty of high Cs to deal with. In the solo soprano repertory, the is the ever-popular Queen of the Night high F to deal with ( Mozart's Magic Flute) as well as a couple of other astonishing notes from the later composer, Richard Strauss.. The coloratura sopranos who sing bel canto works by Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini have high Es and Ebs on a regular basis.
Remember, it's not the quantity, it's the quality of these notes that count. It doesn't do you any good to have them if they are shrill and shreaky. And they are special effect notes. No one stays up there for any length of time. The rest of the voice has to be in good shape in order for them to have their effect.

If you can master high c without cracking you're own your way.

He should hit C to A following the 2nd octave.

Most legit first sopranos can hit a high C (two octaves above middle C). With work you might eventually get up to a D or E. There are some opera singers who get up to F and G.
