Dear Cindy,
I do appreciate your advice. Donna Anna may be too difficult. I agree with you that it is what I make the aria, to be unique and beautiful. I just simply do not have the vast knowledge of repetoire to select something. I am in a stage of technical singing and I know I couldn't sing a challenging piece like "Quando Men'Vo" because I require much more control in my breathing and a softer top. Although I consider myself to be in a first semester, to be clearer, I have studied voice for five years, although I am not in a degree progam. I am fairly new at Opera though, having the equivilent of about a year and 1/2, and I am quite profficient at singing Italian. I have been working on O Mio Babbino Caro and Lascia Ch'io Pianga and music from the 26 Italian Arias.
Faithfully Yours, Julie
