Event Details:

It's the biggest night in the history of the Cleveland Opera Company. World-renowned tenor Tito Merelli, aka "Il Stupendo," is singing the lead in the company's benefit performance of "Otello." But things quickly go Il Bad-O for the operatic star. First there's the scantily-dressed, love-struck autograph seeker hiding in his hotel closet. Then there's his not-so-happy wife who finds this aforementioned babe in the closet and storms out of the hotel, demanding a divorce. Oh yea, there's a little incident with Il Stupendo accidentally overdosing on tranquilizers, causing his assistant to get into costume and make up and pass himself off as the opera star, while… Il Stupendo makes a miraculous comeback! He gets to the theater for the second act and decides to go on – while his replacement is on stage. It's a fast-paced, double-entendre, door-slamming good time.

Some adult themes.
