Hello all,

As many of you are preparing or are teachers of students who are preparing
for graduate school auditions, I thought that you would be a good resource
to discuss appropriate repertoire for such auditions.

I am auditioning for several Opera Theatre programs throughout the US. The
standard audition consists of 5 arias (German, French, Italian, English, and
one more in any language). As it stands, these are my selections:

Italian (2): "Come Scoglio" from Cosi fan Tutte
"Donde Lieta" from La Boheme (or Mi Chiamano Mimi??)

German: 'Dich theure Halle" from Tannhauser
OR "Verfuhrer! Warum stellt ihr" so from The Merry Wives
of Windsor

French: Micaela's aria from Carmen

English: The Trees on the Mountain from Susannah

I have some time before my auditions and want to be sure that my line up is
considered both appropriate and competitive. I would conceiveably be able
to learn new repertoire (the Merry Wives of Windsor and The Trees on the
Mountain are both fairly new).

Please feel free to reply privately. I would appreciate any help you could
provide!
