9 roles

DON GIOVANNIBoth genders30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

(Baritone, G2–G4) Male Presenting. Everyone loves the bad boy. A dangerously charismatic nobleman who lives for pleasure and power. Seductive, reckless, and unapologetic. Thrives on manipulation and charm but faces the consequences of his own making. Has a commanding presence and a baritone voice suited to Sondheim-esque storytelling—rich, expressive, and dexterous rather than pop-inflected.

LEPORELLOBoth genders40-79 y.o.All ethnicities

(Bass-Baritone, Bb2–F4) Male Presenting. Giovanni’s wry, street-smart servant who sees everything but often turns a blind eye. He wrestles with his complicity in Giovanni’s exploits. But this isn’t Giovanni’s story—it’s his. Has an effortless charm, razor-sharp wit, strong physical comedy instincts, and the ability to land a joke while carrying emotional weight. Has a classic Broadway baritone/tenor character voice, agile for fast-paced patter.

DONNA ANNABoth genders20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

(Lyric Soprano, B3–Bb5, opt D6) Female Presenting. A woman on a mission. Fierce, determined, and unwilling to let tragedy define her. She is not a damsel in distress—she is a force of nature, demanding justice and refusing to be silenced. A powerful soprano with both dramatic fire and lyrical sensitivity

DON OTTAVIOBoth genders20-39 y.o.All ethnicities

(Tenor, C4–B5) Male Presenting. Loyal to a fault. Deeply devoted to Anna but struggles to live up to her expectations. More heart than hero, he must decide whether love means protecting or proving himself. A lyrical tenor—either a classically trained operatic tenor or a rock tenor with a beautiful, clear upper register and expressive storytelling ability. More Steve Perry than Robert Plant.

DONNA ELVIRABoth genders30-49 y.o.All ethnicities

(Lyric Soprano/Mezzo-Soprano, A3–Bb5) Female Presenting. She refuses to be dismissed. A noblewoman who has loved and lost Giovanni but refuses to let him define her. Equal parts passion and fury, she is determined to hold him accountable. A classically trained lyric or mezzo-soprano with range and fire—capable of both raw emotion and biting wit.

THE COMMANDERBoth genders50-69 y.o.All ethnicities

(Bass, D2 opt. E2–E4) Male Presenting. A father, a warrior, and an omen. Killed by Giovanni but never truly silenced. His presence looms large even in death. Requires a commanding bass voice with resonance and gravitas.
