Alto isn't a voice type, regardless of genre. It's very commonly used incorrectly in this manner.

"Alto is the term used for a designated vocal line in choral music based on vocal range. The alto part in choral music may range as much as two octaves, approximately from G3 (the G below middle C) to F5 (the F in the second octave above middle C), though not often in one work, and is usually sung by female voices."


Either way, if the producers said Minnie has the chops for Carlotta, she's very likely not a contralto. I can't find any reliable reference to her voice type at all.
