Have you also considered Renata Scotto? I think in her prime she was very effective. She's directing opera now & lives almost exclusively in NYC. Do you think she'd be forthcoming?
I'm noodling with this as well - particularly at the end of SOME ENCHANTED EVENING where the lyric goes: never - let - her - go!! note wise it's: D,F,A,c1,e1 I want to make a blend & not go into falsetto. It's a challenge, but not to the stratospheric heights soprani go.
BTW - on the same thread - have any of you seen the commercial of Monster.Com of the funeral director making last minute preparations on a "client" before showtime & the client has the happiest (and uneraseable) of grins? The music in the background is amazing - who is that tenor & what is he singing? It's a magnificent effect of a blend in high pianissimmi!
The ad may even be @ adcritic.com!
