A Little Night Music at Union Avenue Opera

Lovers reunite, passions reignite, and new romance blossoms in the magic of music on a mid-summers night. A Little Night Music explores the tangled web of affairs centered around the glamorous actress Desire Armfeldt and the two married men who love her: a lawyer by the name of Fredrik Egerman and Count Carl-Magnus Malcom. Both menas well as their jealous wivesagree to join Desire at her familys estate for a scandalous Weekend in the Country under the watchful eyes of the wry family matriarch and harmonizing Greek chorus. With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by Hugh Wheeler, it is no wonder A Little Night Music won the 1973 Tony Award for Best Musical. From the romance of the night waltzes to the hauntingly beautiful Send in the Clowns, Sondheims sweeping score is infused with humor and warmth weaving together musical theatre and operetta seamlessly in this tantalizing tale.
