Boston Lyric Opera: The Inspector

The Inspector, John Musto’s witty Italian farce, closes the 2011-2012 Season. This comic gem boasts a melodic score and features a large and talented cast of established and versatile American dramatic singers. Basing the work loosely on Gogol’s 19th century farce, The Government Inspector, Musto once again teams up with librettist Mark Campbell to create a swaggeringly funny tale of bribery, fraud, corruption, (and a little discreet pimping) in 1930s Sicily.
