There is a long cut which some sporanos take in the middle lyrical
section. I do not have music in front of me, but it works.

Recently a collection of "famous" Bernstein melodies was published which
would work, and there is the collection from Stoltzman's ARIA CD which
contains many fine arrangements of famous opera arias.

There is always one of the Goodman transcription arrangements published.

Good luck.
