Lend Me A Soprano

HOUSTON, TEXAS: This world-premiere comedy may sound familiar. That’s because playwright Ken Ludwig’s “Lend Me A Soprano” is based on his on Tony Award-winning “Lend Me A Tenor.”

This time, however, roles are reversed.

Set in 1934, Cleveland Grand Opera Company manager Lucille Wiley is ready to welcome world-class soprano Elena Firenzi for her one-night-only starring role in “Carmen.”

Elena arrives late. Her impassioned husband Pasquale has a fit of jealousy. And it remains to be seen whether Mrs. Wiley’s mousy but determined assistant Jo can save the day.

Alley Theatre presents “Lend Me A Soprano,” Sep. 16 – Oct. 9, 2022.
