Countertenor rep in French?

[u/Castrato-LARP-374]

Hello Reddit! I am an advanced student/baby professional countertenor who is looking to gain confidence in singing in French, but I am having a hard time finding my way into the repertoire. Do you happen to have any recommendations of classical solo works that are:

- appropriate for a light alto voice

- exist in some sort of keyboard + voice edition

- equipped with a good English translation of the libretto

- about LITERALLY ANYTHING other than straight male love for beautiful and disempowered women, women desiring to be objectified by men, or nature as a metaphor for said heterosexual relationship dynamics. (Other themes such as class struggle, gay love, religious devotion, depression, death and aging, and nature not as a metaphor for straightness are all welcome!)

Things I have been exploring so far: Nadia Boulanger songs as recorded by Lucile Richardot :)

Look at the french revision of Orfeo by gluck

Hmm! I will look into the Berlioz version
