(Comedy)
It's 1934, and the clever and combustible Lucille Wiley, Manager of the Cleveland Grand 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.
This farce follows Lucille Wylie, the manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, as she prepares to welcome world-famous soprano Elena Firenzi for her one-night-only performance as Carmen. However, things don't go according to plan when Elena arrives late, her jealous husband Pasquale shows up, and passions flare. A whirlwind of chaos and comedic situations follows, including romantic entanglements, mistaken identities, and backstage shenanigans. It is up to Jo, Wylie’s clever assistant, to save the day. The play is full of mistaken identities, bedhopping, and physical comedy—everything a farce needs, but at its heart is a beautiful story about mentorship and self-discovery.
