more Menotti

Menotti has several mezzo arias. Here are some others:

Ah, Michele don't you know from The Saint of Bleecker Street
Afraid, am I afraid from The Medium (if you're brave--more
dramatics than vocal)
The Lullaby is often sung by many mezzos (I even sang it in high school). The role is not sung under forty, however, because its a typical grandmother type--not because its impossible for younger people. If you have an F, go for it. Its a popular aria

Menotti, however, is the controversial subject. He has some beautiful arias out there, but there are many many opera buffs who believe that his work is not "acceptible" and will not allow anyone to audition with a Menotti. I have sung all three of those arias, and even use the Baba aria for auditions. But, I don't want to take the chance of being told, "What else do you have" when I announce it as my opener, so I've changed to Handel's Iris Hence Away from Semele.
