To register as a "lírico-dramático" would that be someone who writes lyrics for the opera for example?

Reference:
In the modern history of music, however, ‘lyrical drama’ designates opera, which often includes both recitative and lyrical singing, often in alternation, and often mingling spoken drama with singing, as in Henry Purcell's later operas and in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Seraglio and The Magic Flute.

The Magic Flute (German: Die Zauberflöte pronounced [ˈdiː ˈt͡saʊ̯bɐˌfløːtə]), K. 620, is an opera in two acts by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to a German libretto by Emanuel Schikaneder. The work is in the form of a Singspiel, a popular form during the time it was written that included both singing and spoken dialogue.[a] The work was premiered on 30 September 1791 at Schikaneder's theatre, the Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden in Vienna, just two months before the composer's premature death.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/
A Singspiel (German pronunciation: [ziŋɡʃpiːl]; plural: Singspiele; literally "sing-play") is a form of German-language music drama, now regarded as a genre of opera. It is characterized by spoken dialogue, which is alternated with ensembles, songs, ballads, and arias which were often strophic, or folk-like. Singspiel plots are generally comic or romantic in nature, and frequently include elements of magic, fantastical creatures, and comically exaggerated characterizations of good and evil.

Before suggesting an answer, I've done some research and I think that 'opera singer' is the best translation, though I'm not confident enough to suggest it as an answer.
Re. 'scenic arts', I think it is usually translated as 'performing arts'.
Also is the hyphen part of the standard layout, or specific to this bit?
If so, this link shows tenor lírico-dramático (hyphenated) as a kind of tenor and links it to José Carreras. http://operamania.com/voces-tenor.htm
This English link re Carreras describes his voice as between a lyric and a dramatic tenor´s. http://energitismo.com/jose-carreras-great-voice-of-renown/
Also, to my knowledge, a lyricist would be letrista and dramatist/playwright would be dramaturgo. And someone who writes opera lyrics should potentially be a libretista (librettist http://operaprovidence.org/opera 101/terminology.htm). To my mind something doesn't quite stack up. But I could well be missing something!
So if the words are on their own, I am wondering if you can find a small clue either in the other options or in the detail of the contract. If, for example, the contract refers to per diems, and the contract allows for touring artists, then it would probably be for performers, not someone who might write lyrics. So Helena's suggestion might well be as near as you can get. Does that make sense?
p.s. I am somewhat on the fence about artists, but can see the rationale for it.
If you put lírico and lírica into the clossaries you will find other instances of it coming up, including in the opera context as referred to by Liz.
Do you have anything elsewhere in the contract that suggests/clarifies whether the contract relates to opera or another artistic field?
