9 roles

BasiliusMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Tenor (Ab2 – Ab4): King of Arcadia. A sexy, good ol' boy. A hothead, but not a despot. Blindly thinks Arcadia is doing great under his masculine rule, which will be sorely tested during the course of the show.

GyneciaFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Alto(Eb3 – E5): Queen of Arcadia. Sexy, wise, beautiful. Like any longstanding spouse, knows how to get her way with her husband when push comes to shove.

PamelaFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Mezzo-Soprano (E3 – Ab5): Basilius and Gynecia's older daughter. Confident and obsessed with her appearance regardless of what others think

PhilocleaFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Soprano (G3 – B5): Basilius and Gynecia's younger daughter. Shy and a "good girl," she yearns to follow her heart rather than obey her father's order.

DametasMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Tenor, Baritone, Bass (A3-A4): The King's viceroy; father to Mopsa.

MopsaFemale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Mezzo-Soprano (Bb3 – F5): Handmaiden to Pamela. Warm, skeptical. Growing up without a mother has made her wise beyond her years about everyone and everything, which is why she is the (sometime) narrator to the show.

MusidorusMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Tenor (E2-E5): A young shepherd who courts after Philoclea. Spends approximately half the show in drag in his “Chleophila” persona.

PythioMale18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

Alto, Bass (F#3-B4 as Pythio and G3-Eb4 as the Oracle): The Oracle; powerful, mysterious. Demanding. Great sense of humor -- can see through everyone -- they are the Oracle of Delphi, after all. Performer isn't limited to gender identity and ethnicity.

EnsembleBoth genders18-56 y.o.All ethnicities

SATB: Unique, charismatic individuals to inhabit the kingdom of Arcadia.
