Rep suggestions for grad recital

Next year I finish my degree in music and I need to prepare the repertoire for my graduation recital in advance, so I'd really appreciate your suggestions and feedback!

I'm (24F) a soprano, currently struggling with pure vowels while trying not to close the space, so all my vowels are horrible right now (and sound in general) lol. Most people say I might be a lyric spinto, so lately I've been working on chamber arias of Verdi and unknown Puccini's opera arias along with some Mozart.

I don't think I'm good enough to sing anything yet though, so you can be honest, but I have to include some opera arias in my grad recital.

In the video: two recordings, the first one from 2+ months ago when I started learning the piece, the second one from a masterclass I participated recently.

Thank you in advance!
