I consider a Sinfonia Concertante to be neither a symphony nor a concerto, much like a transexual is not male nor female exactly...
Is it symphony or concerto? Cantata or symphony? You get the drift.
Walk On the Wild Side - Lou Reed

Candy Says - Velvet Underground

Handel: Alcina (lots of cross-dressing and magical transmogrification to animals)
Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro (Boy sung by a girl gets cross-dressed as a girl)

Rosenkavalier too.
Add any baroque opere serie of your choice as sung by your favorite castrati.
In Haydn's La Cantarina (The Diva) of 1766, the role of 'Don Ettore' is played by Barbara Dichtler, a mezzo who often played 'pants role's'. But in an odd twist, the role of the old woman, 'Appolonia' was played by her real life husband, Karl Dichtler, singing a very high tenor part. It was intended to amuse, and did, by all accounts. :)
