SEEKING:

• JOSEPH BUQUET: 30s – 50s. The head flyman of the Opera Populaire. A dark character. Bass baritone; required to sing to E.
• DON ATTILIO: 30s – 40s. Basso buffo with a solid and legitimate low F. A physically interesting character man with a good sense of comedy.
• CONFIDANTE: 30s – 40s. Contralto or low mezzo. Physically interesting character woman.
• MONSIEUR REYER: 30s – 40s. Tenor. Character role. The repetiteur (vocal coach) of the Opera Populaire. An agitated, finicky, meticulous fellow. A strict disciplinarian, always on the verge of hysteria.
• PASSARINO: 30s – 40s. Baritone with top F#. Manservant and sidekick of “Don Juan” in Don Juan Triumphant, one of the operas within the show.
• SINGER ENSEMBLE: Seeking performers with strong legit musical theatre or opera trained voices to contribute to an operatic choral sound. Sopranos (lyric or coloratura), mezzo sopranos, contraltos, tenors, baritones, or basses. Two of the basses in the chorus must sing to low F. A range of interesting “character” players to play small roles and cover all principals.
