9 roles
(male presenting, he/him/they). 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. Vocal range: High Baritone/Tenor, Ab2-Ab4
(female presenting, she/her/they). Queen of Arcadia. Sexy, wise, beautiful. Like any longstanding spouse, knows how to get her way with her husband when push comes to shove. Vocal range: Mezzo, Belt, Eb3-E5

(male presenting, he/him/they). The King’s viceroy; father to Mopsa. Vocal range: Baritone, A3-A4
