Ahmal and the Night Visitors by Mennotti

I recently received an email of the upcoming operas/auditions for the school year. On it was Ahmal and the Night Visitors by Mennotti. I was excited because it will be my 1st fully stage opera in which I have a possibility of singing a lead. My challenge arises in that the role is typically done by a messo-soprano. Although it is a possible for a soprano to sing the role there is nothing for a soprano to show off the higher register and soar. I am excited to learn the role however. Auditions are not until the middle of September but I have already begun studying to be ready. I have listened to recordings, watched tapes and DVDs, and borrowed a copy of the Vocal and Piano score to begin learning and reviewing the role. I am currently perfecting The Mothers aria All that Gold. It is coming along well. I'm determined to make this role mine.
