I've started my last two auditions with an obscure aria ("I can smell the sea air" from Streetcar Named Desire) and the directors/adjudicators absolutely loved it. In both cases they've said that they really appreciate getting the chance to hear new repertoire, especially since this piece is up-to-the-minute contemporary. It's beautiful, too. I probably won't use it as much anymore because I plan on replacing it with Anne's aria from The Rake's Progress, but I'll definately keep it in my repertoire because it's such a beautiful song.

P.S. - Susan, when were you in DMMO? I'm auditioning for it in December, and I had a friend in it last summer!
