Hi Karen,
I believe Cara Sposa is from RINALDO, not Semele, and is sung by Rinaldo.
Rinaldo can be successfully sung by countertenors or mezzos. This really
has nothing to do with the original point of your post - but since I will be
performing in a shortened concert version of Rinaldo, I do know the opera
now (somewhat) although hey, once I actually get cracking to the practise
room, i'll know it even BETTER (and that had better happen SOON!!).
