Breakdown

Seeking future replacements for the Broadway company of “The Phantom Of The Opera.”

Women should be sopranos (lyric or coloratura), mezzo sopranos, or contraltos, with strong legit musical theatre or opera voices.

Men should be strong legit musical theatre or opera tenors, baritones, or basses. Two of the basses in the chorus must sing to low F.

PLEASE NOTE: OPERA SINGERS AND MINORITIES ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.

CHRISTINE DAAE:
20’s: 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:
30’s – 40’s: 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 20’s – early 30’s: dashing, handsome young aristocrat. High baritone (2 octave range from A flat to A flat).

FIRMAN & ANDRE:
Late 30’s – 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:
30’s – EARLY 40’s; 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 30’s – early 50’s; the Opera’s ballet mistress. An ominous, stern, forbidding figure. Mezzo soprano to high B flat.

MEG GIRY:
Late teens – early 20’s; a member of the Corps de Ballet. Must dance on pointe and sing mezzo soprano to G.

UBALDO PIANGI:
Late 30’s – 50’s; the opera’s leading tenor, Italian style singer, sings to high C. Requires opera training.
