Both sopranos want top billing, the tenor doesn’t know the language, and the impresario just tries to hold it all together. Enter an outlandish Stage Mom and you have the makings of a hilarious comic opera. With this little known gem by the composer of L’elisir d’amore, Lucia di Lammermoor, and Don Pasquale, we laugh with you and at ourselves while enjoying colorful characters, absurd situations, and beautiful singing.
