I think you're right not to audition with two pieces by the same composer.
Here are some arias you might take a look at for your second piece - fast,
in Italian, with coloratura:
Donizetti: O luce di quest'anima - from LINDA DI CHAMOUNIX
Verdi: Volta la terrea, or Saper vorreste - from UN BALLO IN MASCHERA
Verdi: Merce, dilette amiche (Bolero) - from I VESPRI SICILIANI
Donizetti: Quel guardo il cavaliere, or La morale in tutto questo - from
DON PASQUALE
Handel: Tornami a vagheggiar - from ALCINA
Piccini: Furia di donna - from LA BUONA FIGLIUOLA
Handel: Dopo notte atra e funesta - from ARIODANTE
Not coloratura:
Puccini: Chi'll bel sogno di Doretta - from LA RONDINE
