There was a book published several years ago called "The Unknown Pucinni"
by Michael Kaye, Oxford Press. It consists of "art" songs & a few things
from operas. I took a quick pick & saw a baritone solo & a soprano solo
that has a range that would be suitable for a mezzo. There are a few
other things in there that aren't marked for a particular voice that
could probably work for mezzo as well.
Timur's solo after Liu's death is incredible!
