Here are some rep ideas - opera arias - but you'll be able to get the
names of characters and operas from them.

As for spinto top stopping at high D, my understanding has always been
that a spinto is truly a "pushed" lyric soprano (thus the full
designation, "lirico spinto"), and as such has all the same
characteristics as a lyric, just with a bit more heft to the voice.
