| Breakdown
Max: (20's to mid 30's) Assistant to Saunders - Max is earnest and hard-working, and in love with Maggie. An aspiring singer, his worst enemy is his own lack of self-confidence. He spends his time as a doormat to his future father-in-law and trying to convince Maggie that he is marriage material. (Must sing in an operatic style.)
Maggie: (20's to 30's) Max's Girlfriend - Maggie is pretty, smart & practical, but yearns for something “wonderful and romantic” before she settles down with Max. She longs for an adventurous fling, one which will allow her to "hear bells."
Saunders: (mid 50's) Maggie's father and the general Manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. He is brusque and authoritarian with a short fuse; he takes out his frustrations on Max.
Tito: (40's +) A World Famous Tenor known also to his fans as Il Stupendo. - Tito is larger than life; full of grand gestures and grand appetites. He’s a womanizer who loves Maria, but finds difficulty resisting the advances of the opposite sex, who seem to advance frequently and with considerable momentum. He has an Italian accent. (Must sing in an operatic style.)
Maria: (30's+) Tito’s wife - Sophia Loren-type: busty, proud, and excitable; a passionate and temperamental Italian woman who is growing weary of her husband’s wandering eye (and body) for the opposite sex.
Bellhop: (age open) The bellhop is shrewd, opportunistic, and determined to audition for Tito. He uses his occupation to get close to the international star. (Must sing in an operatic style.)
Diana: (30's) a soprano with the Cleveland Grand Opera Company - beautiful, sexy; a member of the opera company who has been "flinging her way through the whole cast." Diana is sexy and forceful; she knows what she wants and how to get it Playing Desdemona opposite Tito, she thinks that he might be her ticket out of Cleveland into the big time.
Julia: (60's+) Chairman of the Opera Guild - over the hill, ex-diva, for whom the Cleveland Grand Opera Company is the center of her small, pretentious world.
