friend from college is playing Dr Daly in the G&S Society production of The Sorcerer (note to oxonians: the production is good, and so what if the chorus is a little thin -- the principals are all excellent! and if you don't believe me, ask ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
osymandias), so i went to see that this evening, and happened to be sitting behind the director of next term's iolanthe, and she just about talked me into auditioning. not like i'm loaded down with free time, but hey, i'll have a look at my Great Big Choir rehearsal schedule -- actually, i'm looking at it now; the question is, how much do i want to sing bach's st john passion? this is a legitimate question -- at the moment i'm feeling the G&S love enough that i might give up the st john passion -- but return to the choir the following term -- in return for being able to be in iolanthe. hmm.
anyway. my voice is in the G&S soprano heroine area, but my body type is not. the queen of the fairies is exactly right for my look and my attitude, and i could sing it, sure. so, here's the question: setting aside "oh foolish fay", what song from the G&S canon would you recommend for someone auditioning to play the fairy queen? (see, and then if i don't get the part, i can go ahead and sing the st john passion after all. spoiled for choice, i am.)
