Some roles will be understudied.
[DESIREE ARMFELDT] Female, late 40s-50s. Beautiful, charming, self-absorbed. A once-successful actress now touring the country in what is clearly not the glamorous life. Harbored love for Fredrik for years since their affair. Now involved with Count Carl-Magnus when he feels like it. Mezzo.
[FREDRIK EGERMAN] Male, 40s-50s. A successful, widowed middle-aged lawyer. He is married to the 18-year-old Anne and has one son from his previous marriage, Henrik. In the past, he and Desiree were lovers. A tad over- analytical, he often is driven by his head rather than heart. Legit Baritone.
[MADAME ARMFELDT] Female, 70s. Desiree's mother, a former courtesan who has had discrete encounters with royalty, thus acquiring wealth. Strong willed, opinionated, imperious.
[ANNE EGERMAN] Female, 18-early 20s. Fredrik's new, naive young wife, a beautiful child bride who is still a virgin after 11 months of marriage. Frivolous, giddy at times. Quite naïve. Legit Soprano.
[HENRIK EGERMAN] Male, early 20s. Fredrik's brooding son, 20 years old and Anne's stepson. He is serious but confused; he reads the works of philosophers and theologians while studying for the Lutheran priesthood. His sexual repression is a great cause of his turmoil, as he lusts after Anne and attempts to have a sexual encounter with Petra. Should either play or fake playing cello excellently. Legit Tenor.
[COUNT CARL-MAGNUS MALCOLM] Male, late 30-late 40s. Vain, arrogant, splendidly proportioned. A military dragoon who is Desiree's latest lover. Very possessive when it comes to both his wife and mistress. Legit Baritone.
[COUNTESS CHARLOTTE MALCOLM] Female, mid 30s-late 40s. Carl-Magnus' wife, to whom he flaunts his infidelities. She hates his behavior, but acquiesces due to her love for him. A clever and calculating survivor with a wry sense of humor. Easily the more intelligent half of the couple. Mezzo.
[PETRA] Female, 20s-30s. Anne's maid and closest confidante, brash, bold and flirtatious. She has relations with Henrik and Frid. Mezzo belter.
[FREDRIKA ARMFELDT] Female, teens. Desiree's daughter. Self-reliant, very curious. She is wise beyond her years. Soprano.
[FRID] Male, mid 20s-30s. Madame Armfeldt's swarthy country manservant. Has a tryst with Petra. Baritone.
[MALLA] Female, any age. Desiree's maid. Non-speaking, but sings well. May understudy principal roles.
[OSA] Female, any age. Maid at Madame Armfeldt's manse. Non-speaking, but sings well. May understudy principal roles.
[BERTRAND] Male, any age. Page at Madame Armfeldt's manse. Non-speaking, but sings well. May understudy principal roles.
