13 roles
High Tenor with falsetto up to G#5. (A2 – F5). Orpheus is an optimist, an idealist, a counter-culturalist. Orpheus should feel unique and have the sensitive soul of an artist. Plays guitar.
Bass. G1 – Eb4 Lord of the Dead. Powerful, immortal and deeply in love with Persephone. Strong authoritative presence. Tyrannical and a bit menacing.
Alto/Mezzo. (E3 – C5). Goddess, playful, mercurial and fun. Persephone is not too feminine and lets her sharp edges show. She is the seasons and is cut from the same cloth as Orpheus. She must have a wryness and intelligence that she uses sharply for both entertainment and as a defense mechanism.
Tenor/baritone. (D3 – B4) Hermes is the narrator/guide/emcee of the story. Charismatic, often mysterious, with a trickster-ish quality.
Alto/Soprano. (E3 – E5). A practical leading heroine with an extremely vulnerable underbelly, a haunted bird. She takes the leap to the underworld as a step towards something reliable. There is both toughness and delicacy in her being and her singing; she uses a belt for some songs, real subtlety for others.
