Synopsis:
After auditioning for the Heavenly Chorus, the sopranos have discovered that only one will be permitted to join due to the shortage of tenors and basses. To get around this roadblock, a solution is proposed for the sopranos to journey to Hell to bring back more tenors and basses. Gabriel and St. Peter disguise the sopranos as missionaries to alleviate any risk, and they all depart on their "mission."
Duration: 7:00
