Available Roles:
Max: (20’s - 30’s) Assistant to Mr. Saunders, owner of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. He is in charge of “babysitting” the unpredictable Tito Merelli (Il Stupendo), a great Italian opera singer who is engaged to perform in the opera this evening. Max
must make sure Tito gets to the concert. A bit of a nerd, an opera lover, and an aspiring singer, Max would like to have more courage and more confidence. He is in love with Maggie. NOTE: MUST SING
Maggie: (20’s - 30’s) Pretty and quirky, Maggie is the daughter of Saunders and a music lover. She longs for an adventurous fling, one which will allow her to "hear bells," before settling down. She is, for now, refusing to marry Max
Saunders: (40’s - 50’s) Maggie's father and the general Manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. An authoritarian, uptight man with a short fuse, most of which he takes out on Max. A man under pressure.
Bellhop: (age open) A hotel bellhop and highly energetic fan of Tito’s, who uses his occupation to get close to the international star. NOTE: NOTE: MUST SING
Diana: (late 20’s – 30’s) A soprano with the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. A beautiful and sexy member of the opera company, Diana has been "flinging her way through the whole cast." Playing Desdemona opposite Tito, she thinks that he might be her ticket out of Cleveland into the big time
