LEND ME A TENOR

This night in September of 1934 is the biggest
in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera
Company. World famous tenor Tito Morelli 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. Morelli is nowhere to be found;
when he finally arrives drunk, it is too late for
any rehearsal. Through a hilarious series of
mishaps, 'Il Stupendo' is given a double dose of
tranquilizers which mix with the booze he has
consumed and he passes out. His pulse is so low
that Saunders and his assistant Max believe he is
dead. What to do? Saunders coaxes Max into
Morelli's costume, intending to fool the audience
with this fake 'Il Stupendo', blackface and all.
Nervous amateur Max succeeds admirably, but
Morelli revives and dresses for his second act.
With two Otellos now in costume and two
women en dishabille, each thinking she is
with 'Il Stupendo', the farce spins out of control
onstage and off.
