“A Night at the Opera” is a 1935 Marx Brothers comedy that follows the chaotic and hilarious events surrounding a night at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.

The film centers on the efforts of impresario, Mr. B. Fitzgerald, to stage a successful opera performance. However, his plans are constantly disrupted by the antics of the Marx Brothers, who have become involved in the opera through a series of improbable circumstances.

Their involvement leads to a series of escalating comedic events, including mistaken identities, musical interludes, slapstick humor, and clever wordplay.

The film remains a beloved and enduring comedy classic, celebrated for its creative and exaggerated humor and its witty social commentary.
