Post Gilbert&Sullivan's "Mikado"-- audition song for soprano?
Any suggestions for a good soprano song for "The Mikado" audition?

For G&S, they say you should use another G&S. Yum-Yum is very "innocent" (not really, but her songs are). You could do Elsie's part of "I Have a Song to Sing-O" from "Yeomen of the Guard", among many other G&S sporano parts.

Thank you for your suggestion. :) I have looked at other G&S soprano arias, and they are a bit too high for my range. Yum-yum is a perfect fit for me; but she seems to be the lowest G&S soprano. :think: Would, "Come to My Garden" from Secret Garden or "Green Finch and Linnet Bird," be suitable alternatives?

If you can manage it, I'd recommend 'Poor Wand'ring One' from Pirates of Penzance. It's a great 'show-off' song, but you do need solid technique!
