| Lend Me a Tenor, Ken Ludwig's hit farce, revolves around the Cleveland Opera Company production of Otello. Tito Morelli, a famous Italian tenor, is making his American debut in the title role. The success of the opera company depends on the tenor who has a weakness for wine and women. When the tenor's fiery-tempered wife finds an autograph seeker in the tenor's closet, she writes a good-bye note, grabs her fur and leaves. This starts a chain-reaction of hilarious confusion, plot twists, disguises, entrances and exits through the many doors, and non-stop laughter. |
