This night in September of 1934 is the biggest in the history of the
Cleveland Grand Opera Company world famous tenor Tito Morelli 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!
