| 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...

The Bernstein I use is "I am easily assimilated" from CANDIDE - very funny,
raucous, shows ability for accents and comedy, great high A at the end
(optional). It's fast and fun.

Two other English-lang. ones I've used are Menotti - "Empty handed
traveller" and "Lullaby".

But I'm working on my tour de force - Baba's aria from RAKE'S PROGRESS,
complete with stuff I can pound and smash!
