Lend Me a Soprano
The play is set in 1934, when the clover and combustible Lucille Wiley, Manager of the Cleveland Grad Opera Company, is ready to welcome world-class soprano Elena Firenzi for her one-night-only starring role in Carmen. Alas, Elena arrives late, her impassioned husband Pasquale has a fit of jealousy, and it remains to be seen whether Mrs. Wiley’s mousy but determined assistant Jo can save the day. Based on Ludwig’s Tony award winning Lend Me a Tenor, the role are reversed and the ladies take the lead in this madcap screwball comedy guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.
