ARIAS LISTED BY FACH

Note: I have been cautioned about confusing people with too many arias outside my fach, but since there has never been a consensus as to what my fach is -- which means fach is nothing more than a matter of taste, and taste constantly changes -- I am now including all these arias here, since I can sing them. You can decide what you personally think I'm most appropriate for in your opera house.

The Fach system and the similar systems of other traditions don't match exactly. Some of these roles were not on any of the lists I found, and I have guessed at where to include them. If you don't see a role in the fach you expect, please search Arias by Composer .

Also, in the Fach system proper, several roles are listed under more than one fach. I have preserved this duplication to the best of my knowledge, and also I have combined several fach lists, so there may be more duplication that you might expect according to the list(s) familiar to you.

In the case of the arias from my own opera LEITHIAN, well, I had to put them somewhere, so I put them in what seems to be the middle of my fach -spread, since I'm one of those countless anomalies that aren't easily categorized.
