If you're up to it, a fabulous (and seldom done) duet is the one
between Lescaut and Manon in Puccini's Manon Lescaut (Act II) it
includes "In Quelle Trine Morbide." Lescaut is usually cast as a
lighter baritone than some of the other Puccini roles.

How about "Bei Mannern" from Magic Flute? Again, it's a lighter
baritone role. The English translation in the Schirmer score is
decent, BTW.
