<< If you get tired of using "Must the winter" from VANESSA as your English-language or 20th Century aria, you could do worse than "What a movie!" - Dinah's aria from Bernstein's TROUBLE IN TAHITI.

I love "What a movie!" but it is LONG and very hard to play, so if you don't know the pianist (or haven't brought your own), I wouldn't take the risk...
