English-language or 20th Century aria, you could do worse than "What a

the winter", which is lovely and melancholic (and short), Dinah's aria is
raucous and fun.

A pianist friend calls the Barber, "Must the mezzo sing this tune?"

I love "What a movie!" but it is LONG and very hard to play, so if you don't
know the pianist (or haven't brought your own), I wouldn't take the risk...
