Dramatic Norse
Rigoletto, the Duke's jester --- baritone
Most deadly role on stage (for the actor - !5th recast!)
Wearing the cursed jersey with number -1-
Rigoletto uses "a tongue of malice" to stab his victims as the Duke’s Jester.
A curse was cast on him by count Monterone, after Rigoletto mocked him.
The first Opera Singer to play the role was really Cursed.
The curse came to haunt the first Rigoletto on the pitch in his third match, when he received his first -MA. At the Nineth match, Rigoletto went down to a raging minotaur, resulting in -ST. The singer retired afraid to die on the pitch.
The Role was recast to a new singer for a second act. After one match and only one block, he was willing to take the risk of playing Rigoletto.
Unfortunately He only lasted a couple of game and was killed in his tenth game.
The question remains, can anyone escape from the curse?
No other Opera star was willing to take on this role and rise to the challenge.
But after a long search the role will be revised for a third run by the brave “Agni FOLKVAR”, Who stared in the hit musical "Hägar the Horrible"
He was the first Rigoletto to really shine. And even got 1 skill and an extra ST in his match before his death.
But died viciously, on his first +st match.
Due to his outstanding performance on the pitch, a few youngsters are brave enough to face the curse of Rigoletto and wear the dreadeth number 1 jersey.
Out of these singers the most suicidal was by far: Harold Albrechtson, son of the original Rigoletto. So let's face the music and see what this 4th actor and singer can perform on the pitch.
Well not that much. He died after just 6 matches.
Which brings the death toll to 3 and one retirement for this role.
Due to the oustanding performances of the Snow Troll, his alternates will now take on the job of performing the dreaded cursed role. Hoping none of them will die and they might get trained enough to face the music and take the role full time (The role will be cast on the 10 match surviving)
Otello, a Moorish general --- tenor
Recast after the first star resigned to be with his wife who he suspect from adultery. Just like Othello in the play.
The original star lasted 29 matches on the pitch with a final injury which took away his strength to continue touring with the original cast.
A third recasting happened after the death of the old Othello. The apo failed to find anything wrong but mist to check up on the vital function of Breathing.
Grizmbald the Bold will now take over the role.
Princess Fedora Romazov --- soprano
The role was given to a new young opera Diva. The former Fedora was praised for her voice but couldn't prove herself on the pitch (17 matches no skills)
After 20 more matches, 2 injuries and no skill,
Coach Wolfgang Wagnerson Recast the role to the young Maria Magdalenason
Hopes are high that she would become the first skilled Fedora.

--- Hamlet, Prince of Denmark --- baritone
Back on popular demand, The role of Hamlet, Madness strikes again for the third actor to play the classic role on the pitch.
All previous actors have played the role till death. And still wonder "to be or not to be" a bloodbowl Opera singer.
Marcus Questionson, was chosen for this third itteration after a star performance as a teenager playing Wickie the viking in the Musical "Wickie learns to sail"
Will he Honour this role and play it till deatch? Or will madness take over.
Don Carlos (Don Carlo), Infante of Spain, son and heir to the King --- tenor
Don Carlos fell in love with Elizabeth just before she was to be wed to his father. Growing up in this unhealthy environment, He chooses sides of the oppressed people of Flanders and fights his father.
And of course the love for his “mother” never fades.
First Opera Singer to kill a bloodbowlplayer (A zombie)
This act was a new vision on the ending of Don Carlos.
Instead of being dragged into the tomb by his death grandfather (Carlos V),
Don Carlos defends himselfs and kills the zombie.

Oberon, King of the Elves --- tenor
The very handsome (but dwarfish in size) King of the elves.
Do we need to say more?
Back for a Third recasting
Parsifal --- Tenor
Parsifal proved himself in his first match for the team, being the only Norse to pick up the ball in the entire match (resulting in his first MVP). Unfortunately he was denied a touchdown just before the line.
As one of the original cast the first actor died after 37 matches played. after playing more than 20 matches with a N-injury, he was killed of in great match against the Archers of Avelon -

So time for a new actor to play the role of Parsifal, searching for the grail.
the young and dashing Samsonson has come from playing Musicals straight to the pitch to form his Opera skills.
