What's Living on Love Like?

Living on Love is the story of opera diva Raquel De Angelis (Renee Fleming), whose hot-tempered husband Vito (Douglas Sills) falls in love with Iris (Anna Chlumsky), the young lady he has hired to write his largely fictional autobiography. To get back at him, Raquel hires her own handsome scribe Robert (Jerry O'Connell) to write her own story to chronicle her life as a famous and successful opera star. Sparks fly in this riotous play with music, allowing Renée Fleming to showcase her gorgeous soprano voice in an uplifting show.

The play has been revised by DiPietro to bring out the comedy and streamline the story for a modern Broadway audience.
