Aria Frequency List: Baritone

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.)

I think this happened last year too, and I know how easy it must be to double list arias as they're often called by a couple different names, so, in an effort to be helpful with the record keeping:
-I think Harlekin's aria under "once" and Lieben Hassen under "6X" are one in the same
-Pierrot is listed under "once" and Mein Sehnen is listed under "9X"
-Toreador is listed under "once" and Votre toast is listed under "5X"

Thank you so much for publishing these lists!

Thanks for the corrections, and apologies for these inaccuracies that always pop up when I try to get these lists posted during this busy time. All fixed! (Well, at least these 3...)

I may be mistaken, but I think a student of mine offered Schicchi's aria this year. Atleast he said he was going to.

It's possible that he brought a revised aria list to the audition. I churn our these lists based on the 4 arias that are chosen at the time the application is filed, but we allow changes to that list.

Did your student apply for a Filene Young Artist or a Studio Artist audition? These lists are created from the FYA applications. I'll churn out a list from the Studio Artist auditions later next week.

Another correction:

"Uzhel ta samaja tatyana" - listed under once is "Onegin's Act III arioso"
