Hello everybody,

I'm searching for nice arias for my voice. I'm currently
singing Cherubino's arias. I love them and would like to continue with
something similar: beautiful but not too demanding for a young voice.

Background information:
I'm 24 years old and have been taking lessons for one and a half years
now.My voice is quite big and dark and heavy, more dramatic than
lyric one... Soprano or mezzo - we don't know yet.

Singing legato is one of my strengths. On the other hand, learning
how to sing fioritura seems to be pretty painful! My voice is at its best
between C4 and G5 but A3 and A5/Bb5 are becoming more and more secure
every day.

I already tried Dorabella's arias. "Smanie implacabili" is wonderful but
demanding."E amore un ladroncello"'s tessitura seems to be a bit too high.


I'm happy for every suggestion.

Best regards,
