cherubino's arias are much too much for an 11 year old girl, imho. I agree about the first arias mentioned - if you must have an 11 year old sing opera in the first place. I don't think it's good for the voice to try for that sort of sound at such a youn age. It makes much more sense to wait at least until the voice changes - even for girls.
Just my $0.02 worth.
