CHRISTINE DAAE:
20s: beautiful young singer. Soprano voice that combines elements of classical and pop singing. A light, floaty soprano. She sings briefly to high E.
THE PHANTOM:
30s – 40s: high baritone or tenor (with a good low range) from low A flat to high A flat. Needs a dynamic, bravura, “star” performance, both frightening and irresistible.
RAOUL, VICOMTE de CHAGNY:
Late 20s – early 30s: dashing, handsome young aristocrat. High baritone (2 octave range from A flat to A flat).
FIRMAN & ANDRE:
Late 30s – 50ish; the managers of the Paris Opera House. Trying to be elegant, they are slightly befuddle and bumbling. Need good instincts for stylish comedy. Good supporting roles. Baritones; one sings to A, one to G.
CARLOTTA GIUDICELLI:
30s – EARLY 40s; the prima donna of The Paris Opera. A diva in every sense of the word. Coloratura soprano, to high E. Requires opera training.
MADAME GIRY:
Late 30s – early 50s; the Opera’s ballet mistress. An ominous, stern, forbidding figure. Mezzo soprano to high B flat.
MEG GIRY:
Late teens – early 20s; a member of the Corps de Ballet. Must dance on pointe and sing mezzo soprano to G.
UBALDO PIANGI:
Late 30s – 50s; the opera’s leading tenor, Italian style singer, sings to high C. Requires opera training.
