Dueling Divas November 21, 2009

This is an outrageously funny celebration of opera's over-the-top personalities! Baroness Vladka Von Loudenstimme has had a long career on the opera stage, but for how much longer is anyone's guess. She's still got the pipes, but she likes to soak them in booze during every performance. When she hires a younger Southern Belle, who fancies herself cultured and French but grew up in Boar Tush, Louisiana, to sing for the audience so she can step off stage for a nip, the diva duet becomes a duel of epic proportions. Comes complete with horned helments, a spear, a light saber and a pianist named Paige Turner.
