This night in
September of 1934 is the
biggest in the history of
the Cleveland Grand Opera
Company: world famous
tenor Tito Morelli—Il
Stupendo—is to perform
Otello, his greatest
role, at the gala season
opener. Saunders, the
General Manager, hopes
this will put Cleveland
on the operatic map.
Morelli is late; when
he finally sweeps in it
is too late to rehearse
with the company.
 Through
a hilarious series of
mishaps, Il Stupendo is
given a double dose of
tranquilizers which mix
with the booze he has
consumed and he passes
out. His pulse is so low
that Saunders and his
assistant Max believe he
is dead. What to do?
Max is an aspiring
singer and Saunders
persuades him to get into
Morelli’s Otello costume
and try to fool the
audience into thinking
he’s Il Stupendo. Max
succeeds admirably, but
Morelli comes to and gets
into his other costume.
Now two Otellos are
running around in costume
and two women are running
around in lingerie, each
thinking she is with Il
Stupendo!
