Lend Me a Tenor

Lend Me a Tenor

by Ken Ludwig


October 24, 26, 28, 31, 2001
November 2 & 4, 2001
Fisher Theater

The appearance of the opera star, Italian tenor Signor Tito Merelli, will be the highlight of the Cleveland Grand Opera Co.'s most important fundraiser for the 1934 season.

When a "Dear John" letter is mistaken for Tito's suicide note the company stands to lose $50,000 in ticket sales unless they can find a way for the dead singer to deliver the performance of his life!

"Lend Me a Tenor" sends audiences on a wild romp of mistaken identity, desperate measures and compromising positions set in the delightful period of the 1930s.
