enough to get through brief arias - but comedic acting skills are primary

Tito Morelli:

35-55: a world-famous tenor, known also to his fans as Il Stupendo; an egocentric Italian opera star/womanizer - must be able to sing well enough to pass as an opera singer - but, as will Max, acting

skills trump vocal prowess.

well organized CEO whose world is crumbling about him.

Bellhop:

20-60: a rabid opera hopeful/enthusiast; must be able to sing a cappella operatic arias well enough to

be recognized

Maggie:

of Tito Merelli.

Maria:

30-50: Tito’s wife: a very passionate, emotional Italian woman who is possessive of her husband.

Diana:

her career. (Singing ability not required)

Julia:

45-70: Chairman of the Opera Guild: Wealthy, influential high society woman in love with the idea of

opera and opera stars, but not the brightest bulb in the universe.
