Octavian/Der Komponist/Charlotte/Dorabella/Cherubino/Hänsel/Suzuki... even Carmen --all their most popular audition arias are so often in the resume of most suspicious voice fach: "high light lyric mezzo". Of course, La Cieca,Dalila --totally different story. The question was:does Wolf Trap rep.can hear right away "who is who"? Is it enough important issue to mention in the feedback? Who will be more lucky(or will be chosen by WTO):the "true"(if it might be any true for 22-24 years old')mezzo or "lazy" but well polished soprano? No!It was not an issue.

If a mezzo is taught by a mezzo and assigned that piece to learn, how do they know if they are ready to sing it or not if they have invested a large amount of trust in that teacher?

What is the proportions of "true" or "doubtful" mezzo? Voce di donna, seems,impossible to sing being not a true mezzo(as it should be a contralto). If you have to choose,would you prefer for your studio the "true" one but less polished or zwischen with a better technique? Thank you.

I did not include the follow-up aria requests this list. We asked for the monologue in about 3/4 of the auditions. This is the list of 1st arias offered.
