Question
Can you recommend an opera scene that would feature three sopranos and one baritone?

Answer
Hi Chris,

So sorry for my delay in answering - I've been swamped.  I have been racking my brain for something that has 3 soprano and 1 baritone to no avail.  There are, of course, many scenes that have more - Figaro finale has the Countess, Susanna, Cherubino and the Count (but then you need Figaro, and others.  Maybe you could find other singers?

Look at Don Giovanni also...

I'm sorry I can't be more helpful - that's a tough group.  Perhaps one of the other experts will know.

Best to you,

Pamela
