Karen,

I think the most important thing to consider is your tessitura and which
roles
lie most comfortably for you. Real contraltos have always been rare, although
they
can manage the B flat which you have. How are your lowest notes? Can you
manage
them with ease? Certainly the label Contralto would indicate a darker voice
and is
your voice dark? It really is difficult to say without hearing you.

Sincerely,

Margaret
