Performance tip

Arabella needs one clear preparation choice: mark breaths before the busier lines so the phrasing stays relaxed. Rehearse that transition in Arabella before worrying about stage movement.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Arabella rewards a singer who knows the lyric well enough to focus on the romantic angle. Its structure offers some repeated lines to anchor the arrangement, while the words have fairly active phrasing. Plan to carry the verses yourself; this is not rated as a dependable full-room singalong.
