Well, if you can sing both soprano and alto, it seems like you should be a mezzo soprano because that's in between soprano and alto. So maybe you could do For Good from Wicked. Its a great duet and I love the harmony.

Glinda(the good witch)= Soprano
Elphaba(wicked witch of the west)=mezzo soprano

These are the lyrics:
(Elphaba has a little part in the begining, but you can just cut that out because its only relevant to the musical.) So it would start from:
GLINDA
I've heard it said that people come into our lives for a reason bringing something we must learn and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them in return and we are led to those who help us most to grow if we let them and we help them in return now I don't know if I believe that that is true but I know I'm who I am today because I knew
you... like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun, like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood...
who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
It well may be that we will never meet again in this lifetime so let me say before we part: so much of me is what I have
learned from you you'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart now whatever way our stories may end I know you have
rewritten mine by being my friend... Like a ship blown from it's mooring by a wind off the sea like a seed dropped by a
skybird in a distant wood who can say if I've been changed for the better? But because I knew you... I have been changed for good
GLINDA
Because I knew you...
BOTH
I have been changed for good
ELPHABA
And just to clear the air I ask forgiveness for what you blame me for...
GLINDA
Well I guess there is blame to share...
BOTH
And none of it seems to matter anymore
GLINDA (same time as Elphaba)
Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes the sun, like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood
ELPHABA (same time as Glinda)
Like a ship blown off it's mooring by a wind off the sea, like a seed dropped by a skybird in the wood
BOTH
Who's to say if I've been changed for the better?
GLINDA
because I knew you,
ELPHABA
because I knew you
BOTH
I have been changed for good

There's a song called "Sisters" that Rosemary Clooney and Vera-Ellen sang in the movie "White Christmas" that's cute. Below is a link for the lyrics, and I guess you could rent the DVD to hear the song itself. Good luck.
