Aria Frequency List: Mezzo-soprano
The following list was compiled from the arias listed on audition applications of singers who were heard during this fall's WTOC audition tour. The number in bold refers to the number of singers in this voice type who listed each aria. (This does not refer to the arias actually heard in auditions; that list will follow in December.)

Are you deliberately listing Da chas nastal ...Prostite vy (Maid of Orleans) and Adieu forets as two separate arias?
Nope - my mistake. I compile this data pretty quickly, and while i try to find redundancies, I don't always get them all. Thanks for pointing it out.
How old were these auditioners and did you think that these were good choices for them?
I am a young (pretty sure I am) mezzo soprano and am looking for age-appropriate repertoire, and was wondering if this was a good list...
Julia -
This is a good list for your purposes. There are a few heavier roles on here (Dalila, Carmen, etc), but there are many good options for younger or lighter mezzo voices. Your teacher should be able to help you tease out what's best for you.
