Tia.....
I don't know your voice at all (obviously). But I get
EXTREMELY concerned when I hear of 21 year old mezzos
saying that they're going to sing things like
Mascagni. As a baby dramatic mezzo (and I'm 24)......I
can tell you that your auditioners will get nervous
hearing you sing that, or that you even brought it to
them. Things that I sing which may also work for you
are:
Stella del Marinar (La Gioconda)
Va! Laisse Couler mes Larmes (Werther)
Pauline's Aria (Pique Dame)
Smanie (Cosi)
Dido's Lament (Dido and Aeneas)
I don't judge you John (Crucible)
I hope that helps alittle. But trust me,you're still
young and singing Mascagni will give you more grief
then it's worth.
Just my suggestions. Good luck with the audition.
