Okay, so my friend and I have decided to do a duet for our schools talent show this spring. Trouble is, we can't decide on a song. We're both talented high sopranos (not trying to brag, but it is true), so anything falling in that range is great. We could also do a soprano/mezzo piece as well.
And yes, I've already seen this thread,

but I just wanted some more suggestions. Classical, Broadway, pop, whatever. I just want some input!
Thanks!

Statues and Stories- Light in the Piazza.
Falling in Love With Love from Boys from Syracuse is a soprano song could easily be split up into a duet.

Posted: 1/31/08 at 10:24pmI don't know about musical theatre stuff, but there are some amazing soprano duets in The Marriage of Figaro. I highly recommend the letter duet between Susanna and the Countess. There's also a great one between Susanna and...a character who's name and entire point in the story I seem to forget. But they are stuck in a doorway and insulting one another. How that helped! Best of luck!

I know a good mezzo piece if "In His Eyes" from Jekyll & Hyde...it goes quite high for the top part, but still not too low on the bottom....my roomate and I did this for a musical theatre review last November, it worked out really well!!
Hope you find a piece to do soon!!

Posted: 2/1/08 at 4:50pmA Boy Like That/I Have a Love from West Side Story. It's a soprano and alto - if either of you have a lower range, it's a heart-wrenching piece with tond of guts and glory.

wow, thanks everyone!
we're thinking What is this Feeling? from wicked, but still undecided. I do like In His Eyes.. I saw a high school perform Jekyll & Hyde last night and that song almost made me cry.
and I'll look in to those others that I've not heard of.

Posted: 2/4/08 at 2:18pmWhat You Don't Know About Women from City of Angels is really fun... my friend and I are both Sopranos as well (I'm high, she's mezzo-ish) and we had a blast. :)
