It's 1934 and the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. World famous tenor Tito Merelli is to perform Otello, his greatest role, at the gala season opener. Saunders, the harried General Manager, hopes this will put Cleveland on the cultural map. But, Merelli is nowhere to be found; when he finally arrives drunk, it is too late for any rehearsal. Through a hilarious… Show more series of mishaps, 'Il Stupendo' is given a double dose of tranquilizers, which mix with the booze he has consumed, and he passes out cold. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant Max believe he is dead! What to do? This hilarious, door-slamming, mistaken identity, powerhouse farce is not to be missed!
