Overview

By Joe DiPietro

Based on the play Peccadillo by Garson Kanin

Directed by Peter Amster

There’s only one person with a worse temperament, bigger ego and more flamboyant sense of self-importance than opera diva Raquel – and that’s her husband, the Italian maestro Vito De Angelis. When Raquel discovers that Vito has become enamored with a young lady hired to ghostwrite his largely fictional autobiography, she retaliates by hiring her own handsome young scribe to chronicle her life as an opera star. Sparks fly, silverware is thrown and romance blossoms in the most unexpected ways in this glamorous romp through the world of music, marriage and celebrity. With a highly anticipated Broadway run starting this April starring Renee Fleming, Asolo Rep is thrilled to receive the rights to present the regional premiere of this sparkling new comedy.
