Synopsis
The Impresario concerns the woes of an impresario, Mr.
Scruples, who must put together a company of actors and
singers while dealing with their whims, rivalries and
pretensions. The company faces economic difficulties
which are ultimately solved thanks to the intervention
of Mr. Angel, a banker, who is persuades Scruples to
audition Madame Goldentrill, Mr. Angel's lover. When
Scruples is unimpressed, Mr. Angel introduces his rising
star, Ms. Silverpeal, who insists on auditioning for the
leading soprano role. The two ambitious singers confront
Scruples about who the next prima donna will be, while
Bluff attempts to reconcile matters. In the end, it is
determined that art can thrive only through the
peaceable cooperation of all their strengths.
