Dear Molly,

My suggestion is not from opera and is certainly not humorous, but it is
beautiful, unusual and lyric enough for young voices: Britten's "Canticle
II/Abraham and Isaac". It is a haunting meditation on the Biblical story,
with the tenor singing the part of Abraham, the mezzo as Isaac and -- most
memorably! -- the two voices in close harmony as the Voice of God. Check it
out.

best wishes, Marion
