Vancouver Opera Agreement | Categorization of Roles Page 1 of 30

CATEGORIZATION OF ROLES

L = Lead F = Featured S = Supporting B = Bit CB = Chorus Bit

Leading Role: A Major, Principal Role. A primary character (or characters) in the Opera from whom all action spreads and around whom all action comes together. A protagonist or antagonist. The heroine, the hero, the villain or the victim whose pivotal position at the center of the plot is eminently vital to the development of the story. A leading role, in addition to its focal position in the plot, bears the greatest vocal and dramatic responsibility in the opera.

Featured Role: A Distinct Outstanding Role Given Special Prominence. Not as dominant as a leading role, and not focal in its position relative to the plot. A distinguished character nevertheless, usually requiring a quality voice and/or exceptional acting ability. Dramatic presence, unique vocal range and/or pyrotechnical excellence. The role may have an important aria, duets, a complete scene or a complete act. “Feature” status may also apply to a prominent character involved in the intricate ensemble of an opera whose relationship has a complementary significance to the development of the plot, and who maintains vocal and dramatic presence throughout the opera.

Supporting Role: A Secondary, Intermediate, Auxiliary Role, which sustains and strengthens the plot, while maintaining vocal and acting support throughout the action of the opera. A supporting role may have an aria or a duet, considerable amount of ensemble singing or particular acting requirements. Somewhat shorter roles which none the less fit the profile outlined above in their importance and connection to the plot are also classified as supporting.

Bit Role: A Small Role. A minor role of limited size and scope in vocal and artistic demands, and of a lesser importance and intensity relative to the plot. A bit role has at least twenty-four (24) measures or more, and is usually performed by a Soloist. In some cases, the role may have less than twenty-four (24) measures and still qualify as a Solo Bit Role, because the opera has no chorus, therefore, a chorister cannot perform it, or has no chorister who sings in that voice range. A Bit Role, may also be assigned to a chorister. It is the components of the role as profiled above which determine its category.

Chorus Bit Role: A Small Role of Short Duration performed by a Chorister. In most cases a “Step-Out” role of no more than twenty-three (23) measures of music differing from that music and text sung by the rest of the chorus. A role, possibly requiring a costume change, in a scene not involving the chorus, of no more than ten (10) measures of music.

It is understood by Equity and the engager that these categories and definitions will be used in determining role categorization in new works.
