Description

A comedy about substituting the greatest tenor of his generation, Il Stupendo, in the 1934 Cleveland Grand Opera Company production of Otello with the assistant general manager. The star is inadvertently rendered unconscious and the assistant general manager steps up to save the performance. The opera is a success with the substitute star but the comedic tension intensifies as Il Stupendo regains consciousness and prepares to stage his performance.
