The Cleveland Opera Company feels they’ll have
a sure-fire success when they invite the world’s most famous
Italian tenor to perform for them, but mistaken identities,
misguided romantic advances, and medical misdiagnosis all
lead to an evening of confusion and hysteria in the singer’s
hotel suite in this side-splitting comedy.
Lend Me A Tenor
contains adult situations, and is not suitable for
children.

"Max, Listen. Let's be honest.
When you kiss me, do you
hear anything special....
like....bells?"
|
Maggie, Max, and Saunders
anxiously await Tito's arrival.
|
 |
 |
The Bellhop offers Maria a
lengthy apology.
|
"Signor Merelli. I don't think
you understand. You see, I
have a hundred people at the
theater. Cento persona.
They're waiting for you."
|
 |
 |
"Maria. Listen. We take a
vacation. Soon. Greece, eh?
We get a boat. We sail-a the
islands. Sleep all day.
On the sand."
|
A stranger hiding in the closet.
|
 |
 |
Max helps an inebriated and
distraught Tito to bed.
|
Maggie steals a kiss from
Tito #2.
|
 |
 |
"Here I am, haranguing you
about the reception when I
haven't even told you how
magnificent you were tonight.
Tito. My dear man. How can
I ever thank you?"
|
"Now I want the truth. Just
take the big moment at the
end. Would you say it was
something special? I can take
it, believe me, Tito.
I am a professional."

 |

bathroom.
|
The real Tito is discovered.

Bells are finally heard.
