I don't know how "correct" my resume is, but I've included a section
called "Roles Covered" (in opera, you "cover"; in theatre, you
"understudy" - go figure). I added it as a separate section because I
believe there's far more effort involved in covering than in just learning
a role that one never performs. I also have a separate section for "Roles
Learned".
