Hi Kate-
I haven't had quite such a rapid vocal change as you, but I am 30, and in the past year I have gone from a soubrette/light lyric to dramatic coloratura soprano (I think). I think the fach thing is odd, because people always ask. I don't know what to tell them anymore, and it is SO bizarre to have to think about yourself in a different way. I found my low notes (which were almost non-existant) are now EXTREMELY powerful and easy. I don't know if there is anything you can do until your voice settles in a little bit, but really ENJOY THE RIDE! It is exciting to find new things in your voice, and (for me anyway) so much fun to sing sounds and notes which would have been unheard of even 2 years ago. Good Luck!

By the way - you wrote "mostly singing light > Mozart arias (Cherubino, Zerbinetta)" - did you mean Zerlina? Zerbinetta is from R. Strauss, Ariadne auf Naxos
