Judith Weir actually has a one-woman opera, if you're feeling ambitious! I *believe* it's scored for soprano, but my friend who is a lyric mezzo has done it.
She also has a bunch of other operas too, with quite a number of arias, though I can't think of any for contralto off the top of my head...
I agree, she's really great and writes singer-friendly music.
