I've just found out that I have a sponsor to record a
CD and do a tour - I'm very excited! But now I have to
come up with a program of music and I would love some
suggestions, since programming is one of my
weaknesses.
I'm planning on doing an "aspects of love" theme -
exploring things like wanting to be in love, falling
in love, falling out of love, losing a loved one,
feelings about being in love, etc. I'm a full lyric
soprano with a good high C, a decent middle and lower
range (but I prefer not to hang out there for extended
periods of time) and a fair amount of flexibility
(although I'm definitely not a coloratura). Since the
audiences I'll be targeting include people who aren't
overly familiar with opera, I'd like to do arias or
art songs that have nice melodies or have some other
appeal (strong emotion, for example). Nothing atonal
:o). I wouldn't mind doing one or two lesser known
arias/songs, but the majority should be fairly
familiar.
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Jennifer, off to find a good pianist
