Seeking (all listed roles/positions are available (i.e. not yet offered and accepted)):

Sharon Graham:

AVAILABLE ROLE. 20s. Opera student. Dramatic soprano. Youthful, but full of potential. Well-trained and well-prepared. Soaks up Callas's teaching like a sponge, but she has her own opinions as well. Determined. Audra McDonald won a Tony Award for this role. Also seeking Sharon Graham Understudy.

Tony Candolino:

AVAILABLE ROLE. 20s. Opera student. Tenor. Has a confidence that comes from being good-looking and talented. Accustomed to relying on his charm. Knows his shortcomings, and truly wants to learn from Callas. Also seeking Tony Candolino Understudy.

Sophie De Palma:

AVAILABLE ROLE. 20s. Opera student. Soprano. Timid, perhaps a bit mousey. Eager to please. Impressionable. A young woman who has, heretofore, given more thought to making a pretty sound than to what she is meant to be communicating via song. Also seeking Sophie De Palma Understudy.

Notes: The role of Maria Callas is cast (Tyne Daly). Producers plan to announce Equity Principal Auditions for Maria Callas Understudy, Manny (and Understudy) and Stagehand (and Understudy) at a later date.
