hey guys I have more operatic asoiaf fancast and today I have Greyjoyous tidings

So Balon is a bass and I had to include Ruggero Raimondi because I love him. Look at his performance as baron Scarpia in Tosca

Euron is a bass-baritone because that’s what villains are. Marco Vratogna is a very convincing bad person. Look at him singing his black little heart out as Iago in Otello

Victarion is a tenor because he has some very tenor-like qualities. I’m not gonna elaborate because I don’t want to get into trouble. I picked Joseph Calleja, seen here singing Nessun Dorma, Calaf’s aria from Turandot. Wenches love Nessun Dorma

And hey. Aeron had to be a countertenor. Look at that dude. He’s Dominique Visse and I’m not sure what he’s doing here but I love it

#OperASoIaF #opera problems #asoiaf fancast #Dominique Visse is a treasure #so are the others but for different reasons #tenor-like quelities here mean DUMB #sorry but characters who are tenors are usually the brave foolish heroes in opera #and villains and clever fuckers usually have a lower voice #I'm pretty sure Calleja is actually a very intelligent man though!#love you Joe #see here I go #getting in trouble
