Casting Call for Boys and Girls for "The Phantom of the Opera"

He is physically deformed and allows deformity to control how he treats others. He lives in the basement of the Opera House. Phantom falls in love with Christine but expresses his feelings in harmful and at times disastrous manners, such as sabotaging performances and taking Raoul captive. He is childish and gives the impression that he is usually one to have things his way (a tendency that is evident in Raoul as well). Vocal Range: High Baritone or Tenor Singing Role

Christine is the main female protagonist of the story. Christine is originally from Sweden. Her mother died while she was young; her father, with whom she had a very close relationship, died a few years later, but he passed down his passion for music to Christine and told her tales of an angel of music. Phantom manipulates Christine into thinking he is the angel of music, and is thus able to gain her trust. Christine is young and highly emotional. Vocal Range: Soprano

Raoul is the dashing, young lover. He knew Christine from her childhood and becomes smitten with her when they meet again. He is rich and stubborn at times. He does his best to protect Christine, ending in a confrontation with the Phantom. He is rash, impatient, and often speaks his mind without considering the relationships that he has built with the people around him. Vocal Range: High Baritone

Carlotta is the spoiled and vain Spanish prima donna whose performance is sabotaged by the Phantom. At the Phantom's demand, she is replaced by Christine. Her talent is undoubted by all who hear her, but her personality intimidates those around her. Most vocally challenging role in the production. Vocal Range: Soprano

Madame Giry is the box keeper of the Opera and the ballet instructor. She is loyal to the Phantom and even displays fondness for him, as he leaves her gifts and promises to help her daughter succeed if Madame Giry obeys him. At one point, she is fired by the managers of the Opera, but she regains her position after the Phantom intervenes. While a darkness and mystery clouds her character, she cares deeply for those around her. Vocal Range: Mezzo Soprano

Meg is Madame Giry's daughter. She is the main and most talented ballet dancer in the company. She is Christine's best friend, but she also helps her mother in doing the Phantom's bidding. Must be a convincing dancer. Strong dancing skills preferred. Vocal Range: Mezzo Soprano

Piangi is a classical opera singer with a semi-comedic presence. He is Carlotta’s counterpart (husband) and a diva in his own right. Vocal Range: Tenor

Andre is one of two new managers of the Paris Opera. He is more sarcastic and worried about putting on a show. The Phantom to him is just a nuisance and he seems bothered by the drama that happens with Carlotta, Raoul, Christine, and everyone else. Vocal Range: Baritone

Firmin is the other new manager. He is more serious and more worried about money and the business of the opera. He sees the phantom and all the drama that surrounds the opera house as publicity. Vocal Range: Baritone

M. Reyer is the repetiteur of the Opera Company. His main job is the run the rehearsals despite all divas. He is sarcastic and sort of a tyrant. Vocal Range: Baritone
