Renée Fleming to Star in L.A. Opera’s The Light in the Piazza
Renée Fleming
After a star turn as Margaret Johnson in The Light in the Piazza in London, Renée Fleming will headline the musical stateside. Daniel Evans’ production, which premieres at Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in June, is on the roster for L.A. Opera’s newly announced 2019–2020 season. Performances will run October 12–20.
Dove Cameron, recently Off-Broadway in the musical adaptation of Clueless, is set to play Margaret’s daughter Clara in London; no word yet on casting for the Los Angeles bow of Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas musical aside from Fleming.
This is so exciting...i got my ticket already...this will be the hottest ticket in LA!

More recent musicals than this have been revived, so if this does well, I hope it ventures to New York!

Seems to be doing a little bit of a world tour. Is it actually selling tickets anywhere? It didn't in London.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000
