A Comedy of Tenors

by Ken Ludwig

Metro Theatre
Vancouver, BC
2019

One hotel suite, four tenors, two wives, three girlfriends, and a soccer stadium filled with screaming fans. What could possibly go wrong? It’s 1930s Paris and the stage is set for the concert of the century – as long as producer Henry Saunders can keep Italian superstar Tito Merelli and his hot-blooded wife, Maria, from causing runaway chaos. But he’s up against raging egos, starstruck lovers, a lovelorn soprano, and a ticking clock. A terrific romp filled with slamming doors and live opera.
