A Reading of the Play
QUARTET
by Ronald Harwood
A sinfully funny and mildly harrowing comedy about three formerly world famous opera singers whose professional highpoint was “the” recording of Rigoletto in the 1950s, which went as gold as an opera album could. The big mouths are now living in a musicians’ old age home as charity cases. Abruptly, an operatic entrance explodes the trio into a quartet.
If you really think the opera world is what the Saturday afternoon radio broadcasts, you’ll be glad you attended this eye opening jaw dropper of a show. Names of the possible real life progenitors of these all too believable characters, of course, had to be changed.
