Press Release: A COMEDY OF TENORS
A Fun, Frenzied, Farce with a little Traviata on the side
It’s 1930s Paris, and the stage is set for the concert of the century—as long as producer Henry Saunders can keep an amorous Italian superstar and his hot-blooded wife from causing runaway chaos. A Comedy of Tenors is an uproarious comedy filled with slamming doors, unbridled passion, and madcap hilarity on an operatic scale!
Directed by Kayt Roth, Metro Theatre is delighted to present our Season 57 opener A Comedy of Tenors, written by comic genius Ken Ludwig, on stage October 4 – 19.
A Comedy of Tenors is about love in many forms, and how you can fight with someone and still care for them despite their best efforts to drive you crazy.
Tito who does not like change, is having a mid-life crisis. Max is a singer trying to move beyond his assistant roots, and he and his wife Maggie are having a baby. The famous Russian soprano Tatiana Racón, is in Paris on the hunt for her former beau, while Tito and Maria’s daughter, Mimi, is also in town with her own lover, trying to earn a role in a movie. Factor in an up-and-coming star who threatens to unseat everybody else, and everything that possibly can go wrong does.
Director Kayt Roth: “Madcap comedy is something that we don’t see a lot of in the theatre these days. Mistaken identities, fast-paced jokes, impossible deadlines and sultry situations can make a person laugh like no other – A Comedy of Tenors is comedy in its purest form.”
Tickets are $28 Adult or $25 Senior/Student with a special 2 tickets for $40 every Thursday.
