Hello,
Yes, try G. & S. Specifically try "Ruddigore". Act II. The scene between Mad
Margaret and the reformed Sir Despard Murgatroyd. It's been a long while since
I've done it but it is for a Baritone and a Mezzo I believe. I can't put my
finger on the name of the aria but it is the one where they are talking about
their happy new lives. I'm sorry I can't give you more details, but if you get
the score and go to the second act I think it will be self explanitory to you.
