This night in September of 1934 is the biggest in the history of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. World famous tenor Tito Morelli (played by Jeff Horick) is to perform Otello, his greatest role, at the gala season opener. Saunders (Bob Brown), the harried General Manager, hopes this will put Cleveland on the cultural map. Morelli is nowhere to be found; but 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 (Benjamin Gullett) believe he is dead. What to do? Madness ensues as this hilarious farce spins out of control onstage and off.
Lend Me a Tenor plays Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, April 7, at 3:30 p.m.
