Saunders, the general manager of the Cleveland Grand Opera Company, is eagerly preparing to welcome the world-famous singer Tito Merelli, known as Il Stupendo, the greatest tenor of his generation. He is set to perform for one night only as the star of the opera. However, Tito arrives late, and through a series of hilarious mishaps, he accidentally receives a double dose of tranquilizers and passes out. His pulse becomes so low that Saunders and his assistant Max mistakenly believe he is dead.
In a frantic attempt to save the evening, Saunders convinces Max to put on Merelli's costume and impersonate him to fool the audience into thinking he is Il Stupendo. Max successfully pulls it off and impresses everyone with his performance. However, Merelli eventually regains consciousness and gets into an identical costume, ready to perform. Now, two opera singers are running around in the same costume, while two women, each believing she is with Il Stupendo, are also in the mix.
This madcap, screwball comedy has become a sensation on Broadway and in London's West End, guaranteed to leave audiences laughing until they cry.
