| * This opera has been constructed to be performed using different numbers of singers. The classification above lists the largest number envisioned by the Composer. Smaller versions that are possible are a version without a Chorus, but with Doctors 5–8, and a version that has neither Chorus nor Doctors 5-8. | ||
| ** In a version that includes the Chorus, in the final scene, instructions state that some sections are for one solo voice per part. If the Chorus is used, then the measures noted as one per part become Chorus Bit roles. | ||
| Please be advised: Contact AGMA for classification if you are combining roles, and/or for classification of unassigned lines, and/or for classification of any combination of Chorus and Solo bits from what has been performed previously. |
Minimum Chorus: 24
