CHRISTING DAAE: 20s: beautiful young singer. Soprano voice that combines elements of classical and pop singing. Sings G below middle C to high E

THE PHANTOM: 30s – 40s: high baritone or tenor (with a strong low range) with a contemporary sound. Able to sustain high G# with ease in full voice and high C# in falsetto. Looking for a truly dynamic actor with excellent acting and singing ability.

MONSIEURS FIRMIN (the hard money man – Baritone with high E/F) & ANDRE (charming with artistic temperament – Baritone: high G with ease): 30s – 50ish; the managers of the Paris Opera House. Trying to be elegant, they are slightly befuddled and bumbling. Need good instincts for stylish comedy.

UBALDO PIANGI: 30s – 50s; the opera’s leading tenor, Italian operatic tenor, companion to Carlotta. Sings to high C. Requires opera training.

BUQUET: MIDDLE aged to elderly “character man”. The head flyman of the Opera Populaire. Bass baritone but required to sing to E.
