Plot

In the uproarious world of A Night at the Opera, the Marx brothers, masters of mirth and mayhem, gatecrash the high-brow realm of opera and high society, igniting a symphony of chaos. At the heart of this comedic opera is Otis B. Driftwood, a cunning manipulator, who assists the affluent Mrs. Claypool in securing a place within the social elite by orchestrating a generous donation to an opera company. The opera company, under the helm of managing director Mr. Gottlieb, signs the renowned tenor, Rodolfo Lasspari, to perform in New York. Lasspari persuades his co-star, the enchanting Rosa, to accompany him, despite her love for the less-known tenor, Ricardo. Ricardo, relegated to the chorus line, is determined to take center stage in both opera and Rosa's heart. As the ship sails towards New York, carrying the hopes of the opera company and the dreams of our love-struck tenor, Ricardo and his manager ingeniously stow away, setting the stage for a series of classic Marx Brothers' antics and shenanigans. When their initial plans go awry, they resort to an audacious scheme - to ensure the star tenor's unexpected absence and give Ricardo his long-awaited chance. In a grand finale of unparalleled hilarity, the Marx brothers guarantee that the opera company's presentation of Il Trovatore becomes an unforgettable spectacle, turning the world of opera upside down in their wake. A Night at the Opera is a delightful cavalcade of comedy, chaos, and romance that would leave audiences laughing in the aisles and humming the tunes.
