karen,
'dramatic contralto' is a fach, 'limited coloratura' is a lack of a skill not a fach. taken to its logical extreme, the tone-deaf janitor might inquire "yeah mozart, where's my aria?". it is not my intention to pick on you or mirko but, just because one cannot sing something doesn't mean it is poor vocal writing nor inappropriate for your fach. of course, there are lots of skills to be acquired so, maybe in acquiring other skills you have shorted yourself in coloratura. so, maybe mozart, for now, is not for you. there is other music to sing.
