The Phantom of the Opera DIVA – Shmoyna Potski, a soprano - Aimee Rarement, another soprano - Donna Jose, also a soprano - Machtilde Von Himmel, yet another soprano - Helga Geiseln, likewise a soprano - Elektra Luxe, an additional soprano - Sonja Shtoy, would you believe a soprano? A few things you should know about these characters: Despite the five listings above, the character count is correct: 2 male, 2 female. All of the sopranos are played by the selfsame actress. Remember, the point of this musical is that it is a real ‘shoestring operation’. SHOW DESCRIPTION Gaston, proprietor and star tenor of a tacky opera house, can afford only a chorus of two and one guest soprano per opera. The guest sopranos keep succumbing to ghastly fates such as strangulation, electrocution, enraged bulls, banana peels underfoot, poison fleas, falling chandeliers and hypothermia. Why? Because the phantom wants Pristine to star – and at the rate he bumps off her rivals, she’ll soon be the only soprano in grand opera!
