ROLESTHE COUNT DAM-MARTIN
The Count is a Baritone: he is a 2000 year-old Vampire, but looks (and sounds) considerably younger! Looking for a passionate love match who sweeps Angelique off her feet! A Musical Theater (with Operatic training) voice with softness and power, a good vibrato is essential, as is the ability to act.
ANGELIQUE Lyric Soprano (b flat) (Christine Type Role) (with Musical Theatre experience (and/or Operatic). She is a devout young Opera Singer whose passion is roused by the Count. She is seduced by him. Good acting is a prerequiste as well as a lovely voice.
MARIE (Sister of Angelique)A young soprano with coloratura ability also needs a good lower register (no belting?). She is a young soul, into fun and not restricted by convention or religion, as her sister is.
LOUIS VASSEURA young Tenor (G) - The love interest of Angelique also an Opera Singer and a Lieutenant in the French Army. He is dependable, ardent: the boy next door type. Angelique loves him but is not in love with him, as she finds out when she meets the Count. No dramatic tenor requirements, just a lovely voice and personality.
CAMILLE (Angelique's Mother)Angelique?s mother is a Mezzosoprano role, she needs some motherly richness in her voice, a voice which can emote, and she has the opportunity to kill the Count! She is Devout and a loving wife and mother.
ANTOINE DE CHABBANNES (Father of Angelique)A Baritone role - F# to G. He is a Fatherly figure, father of Angelique and wife of Camille.
THE PRIESTA Bass/Baritone role, Operatic in scope (G). He is resolute and has a big resounding voice which commands attention.
THE DOCTOR,The Doctor is an Operatic sounding Bass/Baritone (E flat) and is one of the Count?s minions. The voice is round and dark. Not much of an acting part but both his pieces are vocally contrapuntal and demand good musicianship.
JOSEPH BERNIER Joseph is a Baritone/tenor (F#) (a young vampire who falls for Marie). The voice needs to be able to convey hope and utter despair. It?s a small part but has a great pathetic solo scene.
