Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is primed to welcome world- famous singer Tito Merelli, known as "Il Stupendo," the greatest tenor of his generation, to appear for one night only as the star of the opera. Tito arrives late, and through a hilarious series of mishaps, he is given a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. His pulse is so low that Saunders and his assistant Max believe he's dead - and in a frantic attempt to salvage the evening, Saunders persuades Max to get into Merelli's costume and fool the audience into thinking he's Il Stupendo. Max succeeds and lives up to his idol, but Merelli regains consciousness and gets into the identical costume, ready to perform. Now two opera singers are running around in the same costume and two women are running around in lingerie, each thinking she is with Il Stupendo. A sensation on Broadway and in London's West End, this madcap, screwball comedy is guaranteed to leave audiences teary-eyed with laughter.

  • Lend Me a Tenor: <I>La Prima Donna È Mobile</I>
    Lend Me a Tenor: La prima donna è mobile Lend Me a Tenor at RI Stage Ensemble. L-R: Steve Small, Mary Case (looking “like the Chrysler Building”), and Robert Grady. Nominated for nine Tony Awards and winning two, Lend Me a Tenor by playwright Ken Ludwig is an unambitious and ridiculous farce that depends upon numerous perfect coincidences and character stereotypes. The central plot element is a case of mistaken identity that depends upon both parties to the confusion wearing blackface makeup to perform the title character of the Moor in Verdi’s opera Otello. While blackface makeup – euphemistically called “darkening up” in opera – may seem a relic of a long ago era, it is a tradition that has been rethought only suprisingly recently. The Metropolitan Opera in New York City made news by dropping blackface for Otello only in 2015 after using it in 2013. (The decision received so much attention that theater critic Ben Brantley and classical music critic Anthony Tommasini published a joint exchange of opinions in The New York Times.) Theatrical performances of Shakespeare’s Othello, the basis for the Verdi opera, have not used blackface makeup for decades, and the last vestiges of it were seen on the stage in the late 1980s. As a result, the 1986 premiere of Lend Me a Tenor occurred almost exactly at the start of a 30-year transition that would see blackface makeup banished first from the Shakespeare play and then from the Verdi opera. The choice to put on this play in 2017 is therefore puzzling, engendering much the same queasy feeling as eating food that is past its expiration date but not yet actually rotting.

If students are prepared properly, it will be a memorable, educational experience for all. 1. Have students enter the theater in a single file. We suggest you have one adult for every ten to fifteen students. Our ushers will assist you with locating your seats. Please wait until the usher has seated your party before any rearranging of seats to avoid injury and confusion. While seated, teachers should space themselves so they are visible, between every ten to fifteen students. Teachers and adults must remain with their group during the entire performance. 2. Once seated in the theater, students may go to the bathroom in small groups and with the teacher’s permission.

  • Don't Miss Lend Me a Tenor
    Jul 28, 2011 08:54 BST Don’t miss Lend Me A Tenor - this summer’s musical hit! Lend Me A Tenor is a musical - a riotous, unpredictable explosion of mistaken identities and unexpected romance – based on the award-winning West End and Broadway hit comedy by Ken Ludwig, with music by Brad Carroll and book and Lyrics by Peter Sham. Lend Me A Tenor was presented in May 2006 as a staged reading as part of the Utah Shakespearean Festival's New American Playwright Project, in Cedar City, Utah, followed by rewrites and a production as part of USF's Summer 2007 repertory season, which received rave reviews. The show had an out of town tryout at the Theatre Royal, Plymouth running from 24 September to 6 October 2010, directed by Ian Talbot. The show began previews in London's West End at the Gielgud Theatre on 2 June 2011 before officially opening on 15 June 2011. This is the same venue where the original play premièred in 1986. It’s 1934, and the world’s greatest tenor Tito Merelli has come to Cleveland, Ohio, to save its Grand Opera Company by singing Otello. When he is unexpectedly incapacitated, Max, the Opera Director’s meek assistant, is given the daunting task of finding a last-minute replacement. Chaos ensues – including a scheming soprano, a tenor-struck ingénue, a jealous wife and the Cleveland Police department. This brand-new production is directed by Olivier award-winning director Ian Talbot (High Society, Anything Goes) and choreographed by Tony-nominated choreographer Randy Skinner (42nd Street, White Christmas).
