Studio Auditions - Aria List
REVISED AS OF 12/5/08
I should know better than to try to churn out data while I'm on the road, saddled by a technology curse. Please find below a corrected list of WTOS aria offerings.

At 3pm, my laptop turned into a doorstop. I'm trying not to curse it, but 9 hours later I think I might have managed to fix it with a screwdriver. Inconceivable. I'm geeky but not handy. Let's hope it lasts.
For those who are curious about such things, here are the arias offered by the singers who auditioned for this year's Wolf Trap Opera Studio. Since we offer the opportunity to bring arias and/or art songs, you'll find both of the above mixed in the list.

Hi! Quick question: Is this the list of what the singers offered as their first song/aria, or is it the complete list including everything you asked for? Or, did you ask for the monologue every time?
This is the list of 1st arias offered. I did not include the follow-up aria requests this list. We asked for the monologue in about 3/4 of the auditions.
Just curious: if you have a doubts about "real" fach of mezzo,do you ever mentioned in your feedback your doubts? 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.
But "Voce di donna" is in the mezzo anthology. 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?
No!It was not an issue. 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?
The aria I started with is not on this list. Maybe that's not a good sign?
Yikes! What was it?
It was Fire Aria
See the corrected list above. I should've known better than to try to generate it on a day when my computer was being cranky :(
A handful of arias were omitted, but the list is now up to date.
What opera is the "Fire Aria" from? I have tried to find it but can not.
The "Fire Aria" is a short coloratura soprano aria from Ravel's L'enfant et les sortileges. The first word is "Arriere!"
