Count Ory is a lecherous human traveling around looking for some tail. Originally set during the Crusades, MUO is getting in there and making some big changes. Enjoy one of Canada's longest running queer bars while opera singers sing loudly in your face. It's an experience like no other!
We're bringing back the same team that created The Tales of Hoffmann, Matthew Paris-Irvine and Shannon Hiebert and adding new English text by Max Fingerote. Along with gender swapping the title character, this comedy is sure to be a delight.
