“Signor Lassparri comes from a very famous family. His mother was a well-known bass singer. His father was the first man to stuff spaghetti with bicarbonate of soda, thus causing and curing indigestion at the same time.”

The Marx Brothers in A NIGHT AT THE OPERA (1935) will be available on Blu-ray September 28th from Warner Archive

Mayhem ensues when the Marx brothers enter the world of opera. Otis B. Driftwood is helping Mrs. Claypool enter society and gets her to make a major donation to an opera company. The opera company’s managing director, Mr. Gottlieb signs a leading tenor, Rodolfo Lasspari, to sing in New York, and he, in turn convinces his current co-star, Rosa to come with him. But Rosa’s in love with Ricardo, also a tenor but unknown – and only a member of the chorus. Ricardo and his manager stow away aboard the ship carrying everyone to New York. When none of their plans work out, they ensure that the opera company’s presentation of Il Trovatore is one the audience will never forget.
