AETHERPHON, global theremin family

Friends:

(duplicated on Levnet and Thereminworld)

I have been approached via Facebook by a local operatic soprano, Rebecca Flaherty. Mrs. Flaherty heard about me via the grapevine and wants to collaborate in late spring 2011. In my preliminary communications, I voiced concerns that a duo performance (with a piano accompaniment), would be problematic because the theremin can sound very much like the human voice. She thinks a public performance would be a fun thing to do. Mrs. Flaherty is apparently very accomplished and is currently working on her Music Masters at a local university. She has also studied / performed abroad in Italia. So, the young lady is not naïve when it comes to matters musical. My questions are simple and few in number:

-How do we make this work?
-Any suggestions for repertoire from the classical/operatic worlds?

I haven't performed in public for awhile, and I would welcome another opportunity. However, I don't want this to be a sideshow but a serious artistic effort.
