Breakdown
Preparation Instructions:
Please prepare ONE brief vocal selection that is appropriate for the role(s) to which you feel you are most suited. An accompanist will be provided, bring sheet music in your key and you MUST bring 5 (FIVE) pictures and resumes stapled together. Representatives with casting authority from each show will be present, you are free to bring in something specifically appropriate for any of the shows, or perform ONE general selection that shows you off best - but, as in years past, we are NOT permitting more than one vocal selection.

SEEKING:
[ALVARO VIGNA] Male, early 30s, high Baritone. A trained conductor and frustrated musical genius, working as a waiter. Very mercurial, he epitomizes a Latin artistic temperament. Intense, passionate, riveting, and seductive.
[RICO] male, early 30s, rumbustious Baritone. Alvaro's best friend and political conscience, Rico works as a pianist in a shabby bar, and is a staunch anti-royalist. An uncompromising idealist, he is one of the few voices in Centoluci that shouts out against the country's profiteering gamble to restore its monarchy.
[GUALTIERI] male, 40s, light Bass-Baritone. Princess Constance's private secretary. Entirely appropriate and unfailingly articulate, he is an intelligent, discreet and loyal servant with an uncanny knack of assessing a situation at lightning speed. He is seasoned, deft, and often, albeit subtly, quite hilarious.
[MARCELLO] male, early 20s. Gualtieri's grandson is a young man determined to uncover his late grandfather's past. His hunger for the truth is matched by his sense of honor.
[PRINCESS CONSTANCE] female, late 20s, Mezzo-soprano, American. A ravishingly beautiful young woman. Educated, poised, inquisitive, tenacious and bright. She has benefited from a privileged upbringing, but this has in no way prepared her for the rigors of her new royal role.
[MISS VINE] female, late 60s, Mezzo-soprano, American. PRINCESS CONSTANCE 40 years later. For four decades, Constance has lived in seclusion on a remote island. She is remarkably untouched by the changing world, and retains many of the mannerisms and all the poise of her younger self. She teaches piano to local students, evoking all the techniques taught to her by Alvaro, with whom she is clearly still in love.
[GRAND DUCHESS CESARA] female, 60s, operatic, dramatic Contralto. Every inch an old-school royal: dripping in jewels, silver hair piled high, and never without her polished ebony cane. As a child, she saw at first hand the revolution that unseated her family but now, with the monarchy only just reinstated, she relishes her new status.
[PRINCE CEDRIC] male, early 30s, high Baritone. Son of Cesara, Cedric is the Crown Prince of Centoluci, and husband of Constance. Married out of duty, secretly gay, and an aristocrat to his fingertips.
[FEMALE ENSEMBLE] female, 20s-40s. Soprano or Alto. Strong singer and actor who moves well.
[MALE ENSEMBLE] male, 20s-40s. Tenor or Bass. Strong singer and actor who moves well.
