Description

|
|
|
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery: except when it's the weirdest. Weird, wild, and wonderful, this spoof-laden production takes legendary prima donna Vera Galupe-Borszkh from her birth in Odessa through her training with the great bel canto expert Maestro Manuel Galupe (the last living castrato), the formation of her opera company La Gran Scena, her romantic betrayal by Hungarian baritone Fodor Szedan, her trial for his murder during Tosca, and her ultimate triumph—all told through biographical episodes and great operatic scenes. And did we mention that all of the assorted divas are played by men? "A shattering send-up! They are not only consummate clowns, but they can really sing. Magnificent excess!"—Time
