Sounds like it's time for you to look at Mephistopheles in Busoni's DR
FAUSTUS and the Drum Major in WOZZECK. The Duke in RIGOLETTO and Paco in
LA VIDA BREVE aren't exactly "nice guys" either. Peter Grimes, Capt. Vere,
Aschenbach, King Herod, Peter Quint, Tarquinius, Eleazar, Otello, even
Pinkerton - these are all hardly "nice guy" roles.

-----
We're sitting in the opera house;
We're waiting for the curtain to arise
With wonders for our eyes,
A feeling of expectancy,
A certain kind of ecstasy,
Expectancy and ecstasy....Sh's's's.
- Charles Ives
