Here are a few things: "Soave sia al vento" from Cosi fan tutte
"So please you sir, we much regret" from The Mikado --I admit this is reaching a bit, because there's a 3rd girl(though she has no solo line) and chorus accompaniment, but it will work as a trio
the Mozart trios that include basset horns, K. 436, 437, 438,439,346,549 -the male line is for a bass, like the above-mentioned Cosi, but it's not very low; you could get 3 clarinet players to do the basset horn parts on clarinet, since I am sure your school won't have 3 basset horns!! (basset horns are something like an alto clarinet, but with a small bore, and in the key of F instead of Eb)--these are wonderful pieces!
the Act 2 scene in Nozze di Figaro, with Susanna, the Countess, and the Count --even though Susanna and the Countess are both sopranos, the writing will work for a soprano and mezzo
"L'usato ardir" from Semiramide by Rossini
If I think of any more I'll let you know....
