Tenor Boy	comment	It's musical theatre law. The frequently good-looking, almost always lovestruck, and without a doubt naive, yet good-hearted young man central to the story must sing with lyrical, boyish grace. In other words: he's a tenor. In a large portion of opera (particularly Verdi and Puccini), The Protagonist is a tenor no matter what his age or personality. Compare the Innocent Soprano, his Distaff Counterpart and probable love interest. Contrast Evil Sounds Deep.

Tenor Boy / int_141a7410	comment	Subverted hilariously in Over the Garden Wall. During the episode "Songs of the Dark Lantern", the tavern patrons, who only refer to each other in archetypes, label Wirt as "The Young Lover" when he mentions that he is trying to find a lady named Adelaide. As such, they insist that Wirt serenade them with a love song. Wirt, who is established as being obedient to a fault, bows to the peer pressure but the song he improvises ends up being... anything but lovely, with Wirt's attempt at hitting a high note being cringe-worthy. In a later episode, "The Ringing of the Bell", the trope is Played Straight when Wirt sings the romantic duet "Like Ships" with Lorna.

Interestingly, in the 1980 Screen-to-Stage Adaptation, the Will They or Won't They? couple is changed to Peggy and Julian, the director. And in the original novel both the film and stage play are based on, Billy and Julian are a couple, but that type of relationship would not fly with the Moral Guardians, so both men were portrayed as heterosexual in subsequent adaptations.

Tenor Boy / int_90f7114	comment	On the other hand, it's actually averted in Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street: naive, good-hearted young sailor Anthony Hope, half of the romantic subplot along with Innocent Soprano Johanna, is a baritone, the same as Anti-Hero Sweeney Todd and Big Bad Judge Turpin. While he is sometimes played by a tenor with a flexible low range in standard musical theatre productions, he is always firmly a baritone when it's produced in opera houses. The aversions go further with the actual tenor parts in the show: Toby is the closest to a traditional male ingenue tenor, though with the twist that his innocence is enforced by his being somewhat mentally disabled. And then in the very end, he snaps and murders the title character. He is also sometimes played as a child, either by an actual child or by a woman, which is a different type of aversion. Adolfo Pirelli, Sweeney's rival, is a conventional operatic tenor, specifically because he's parodying the traditional operatic type. He's also an abusive boss/guardian to Toby and a total fraud. Beadle Bamford, Judge Turpin's chief stooge, is typically played by a lyrical high tenor. He's also a nasty piece of work who helped Turpin rape Sweeney's wife Lucy and regularly threatens Anthony from getting too close to Johanna. Pirelli and the Beadle sing a particularly eerie falsetto duet together in the final rendition of "The Ballad of Sweeney Todd", using their high voices together to create the exact opposite of the usual intent of this trope.

There's a point in one of the operas where Siegfried has to impersonate another character, a baritone. It's notoriously difficult to pull off on stage. Some recordings of the opera get around it by having Siegfried sing the part in his normal voice and then editing it into a baritone. It's also been done on stage by having the actual baritone sing and act the part, then leave stage and "re-enter" as tenor Siegfried, which works since he's also supposed to be in magical disguise.

The two male corners of the Love Triangle — dorky, never-been-in-love-before Seth Brundle and manipulative, jealous, worldly Stathis Borans — are a bass-baritone and tenor, respectively. This hints at what each character becomes over the course of the story as Seth mutates into a deranged Half-Human Hybrid and Stathis becomes the despairing Veronica's confidant. The overconfident barfly Marky — whom Seth gruesomely defeats in One-Sided Arm-Wrestling — is also a tenor.
