The plot such as it is concerns the three brothers trying to get talented singer Allan Jones a break at the opera company. In fact we have a bunch of great voices, not only Allan Jones, but Kitty Carlisle, and even egotistical tenor Walter Woolf King. With the story set at an opera company you would hope that a great voice would be a minimal requirement. Nothing was lost and a lot was gained because Allan Jones assumed a Zeppo like character with a lot more personality and a great singing voice. Zeppo, who's contributions to the team are pretty negligible, decided not to make the trip. A Night At the Opera is the first film that three Marx Brothers did at MGM after leaving Paramount.
