Well, if you're looking for heavier coloratura pieces, there are numerous
possibilities - but given your age, I'm going to steer clear of a number
of them because even if you can handle them purely on a technical level, I
think you'd be a bit pressed to give them the interpretive/dramatic
maturity they need. So no, no "E strano...Sempre libera", no "Casta diva",
no Donizetti "Queens" arias - not for another 5-10 years, please!
That said, there are some "dazzlers" for full lyric and dramatic
coloratura that IF you've got the coloratura technique, you might want to
discuss with your teacher as possibilities, e.g.,
Marguerite's "O Dieu! Que De Bijoux ... Ah! Je Ris De Me Voir" from
Gounod's FAUST
Sellika's "Sur mes genoux" (aka "In grembo a me") from Meyerbeer's
L'AFRICAINE/L'AFRICANA
Teorinda's cavatina from Meyerbeer's GLI AMORI DI TEORINDA
Fiordiligi's "Temerare...Come scoglio" from Mozart's COSI FAN TUTTE
Depending on your ability to learn "weird modern" stuff, you could
probably impress the hell out of the judges (and completely alienate the
"laymen") by learning and singing Jenifer's Act I aria from Michael
Tippett's THE MIDSUMMER MARRIAGE.
