It’s audition season, and sopranos know it can be hard to find arias that pass the Bechdel test… but with COR, you have options to choose from!

Looking for a sapphic love song?

Try “Love Me Lily” from Bandits in the Valley: Henri, the pianist in a musical troupe, wonders how it is possible that Lily doesn’t reciprocate her feelings of love.

Or if unrequited yearning isn’t your vibe, try “Cinnamon Limbs” from She Sees Her Lover: waking early after a night together, Agnieska rapturously admires her new lover Sumana as she is sleeping.

Not into romance?

How about “Wandering Endlessly” from The Perfect Screw: Amalia wanders through a big box store and dreams of what can be accomplished with hardware.

Or “We all fail…” from Ice Time: a figure skater reflects on a bad experience in competition and decides to switch to a new career path.

Something more fantastical?

Try “Chopin’s Ghost” from Pub Operas: a bar manager recounts the night she heard Frederick Chopin play piano.

Or “Wisdom Aria” from Nigredo Hotel: Sophie, the manifestation of Ray’s soul, explains how she has been locked away from Ray since he was a child.
