Several weeks ago there was a query regarding an aria from Maria Stuarda. I believe the question was about one of Elizabeth's arias. I don't have my score at home so I can't address that. However there's a smashing aria for Maria called
"O nube! che lieve per l'aria ti aggiri" The cabaletta, "Nella pace nel mesto riposo" is not as florid as one might expect. The aria could be done by a soprano or a lyric mezzo.
I hope this helps the person who had the question.
