Aganzir, could we perhaps be rivals for the villain role in this opera, carrying out diabolical plots to sabotage each other's attempts at getting said role?

Lovely ... as a contralto/mezzo myself, I have to say that the lower ranges often have the most interesting parts - bad girls are nearly always mezzos Agan!!!
for the men, Baritones tend to be bad guys or the hero's friend who gets killed - baritones tend to die a lot.. but there are a couple of splendid tenor villains in Handel ( when the hero would have been a castrato originally now counter tenor or mezzo on "trouser role") and also Rigoletto.

I may have to use artistic licence but if Nogrod insists he is tenor I may have to resist the image (and cultural stereotype sorry) of the wonderful basses from his part of the world ... hope there will be a few since one of the arias I want to rip off is... well nvm ...

Deadline... well I am a lady of leisure atm but I can't be certain of that being the case for the duratio of the game. So it will surely be early evening UK time which should be lunchtime or later in the states. There is likely to be retractable votes - though not unlimited ones since people got silly last time and annoyed me

so I hope the deadline won't be an insurmountable problem.

Looks fun... I'm just afraid I may not have the time. Do we have to use our real voices Mith? Bass or baritone is I think what I am (I don't sing much anymore).

I'm in, and I'm most definitely a bass, and the bass who has no range/can't get out of the lower octave.

I'm in with a question mark and I'm a soprano (I'm pretty sure) but you really don't want me to sing.

Alright. *gives Menel some helium*

This is definitely going to be an adventure~! Can't wait!

And of course Nog would be a wonderful singer. He's always so full of hot air!

(I wish Phantom were here.

It fits him so much better. Hehe.)
