Sopranos Never Die
Advertisement
Opera, sketch comedy, and puppetry intersect for this 50-minute dark and stormy romp. The Divas of Forte Chicago delight audiences with familiar melodies from Le Nozze di Figaro, Gianni Schicchi, and more through the ups and downs of attempting to K*ll the soprano. Because, who really needs one more soprano?
