[THE BAKER] THE BAKER’S WIFE [Baritone: A – high G] Mezzo-Soprano: G – High F
An independent and stubborn woman who wants to share an equal role with her husband in their relationship. She too, wants to have a child, and her persistence in doing whatever is necessary drives the Baker on when he would have given up. While she tries not to do so, she often ends up taking matters into her own hands.
