You could always do the final (Act III) trio from Strauss's DER
ROSENKAVALIER.
You might also try the Card trio from Bizet's CARMEN.
If you and your mezzo are willing to sing a bit lower than usual, there's
the "Spogliati, bambolino" trio from Puccini's GIANNI SCHICCHI. Similarly,
the three Norns' scena, "Welch Licht leuchtet dort?" from the Prologue to
Wagner's GOETTERDAEMMERUNG.
The trio "Gaudio, gaudio son al cuora" near the end of Gluck's ORFEO ED
EURIDICE.
The Rhinemaidens' trio, "Heiajaheia!", from Scene 1 of Wagner's DAS
RHEINGOLD.
And there's always the "Suscepit Israel" from J.S. Bach's MAGNIFICAT IN
D....
For the fun of it, you might also try:
"Three little maids from school", from G&S THE MIKADO
"You could drive a person crazy", from Sondheim's COMPANY
"I want it all" and "The Ladies Singing Their Song", from Maltby's &
Shire's BABY
