Synopsis: On
a very important night for the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, Tito
Merelli, world-famous Italian tenor, is set to perform the starring role
in 'Il Pagliacci'. Henry Saunders - General Manager of the company - is
beyond stressed and insists that his assistant, Max - a nervous, young
fellow and secret tenor extraordinaire - watch over Tito’s every move to
ensure smooth sailing. After a huge fight with his wife Maria, Tito is
left unconscious – leaving Max to step in. Throw in Diana, an ambitious,
female co-star; Maggie, Max’s giddy girlfriend; Julia, head of the
opera guild; and a bellhop fighting for Tito’s attention, you have a
recipe for comedic disaster. Max navigates the company through one
catastrophe after the next and, together, Max and Saunders find a way to
save the Opera Company’s big night.
