Actually I have the opposite problem - finding musical pieces that sit high enough! I love Ragtime, Jekyll and Hyde etc but I couldn't do them justice in a pink fit! Is there anything that people could reccomend for a colouratura sop aside from Mabel or Phantom?
I'll be doing a recital and it will be recorded onto Cd by one of local classical music stations here and I want to present a good mix of opera, operetta and musicals but I'm a little ignorant on the musical repetoire so any help would be greatly appreciated!
