Donizetti’s Viva la Mamma hilariously portrays a theatrical company struggling with a stage mother who insists on controlling every aspect of her son's career, much to the director’s dismay. Dueling divas, a meddling maestro and grocer/poet complicate the production woes. Amidst chaos and comedic mishaps, the opera satirizes operatic stereotypes, showcasing the absurdities and egos within the world of theater - all with glorious bel canto melodies and some terrific singing.

Viva La Mamma! by Donizetti, Cimarosa, From (2025/2025), Directed by Jill Anna Ponasik,, Conductor Anthony Barrese, Anthony Barrese, Pitman Theater, Alverno College, Milwaukee, United States
