Eugene Opera: A Little Night Music

Tickets starting at: $35.00 Eugene Opera presents A Little Night Music Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Book by Hugh Wheeler Orchestrations by Johnathan Tunick Suggested by a film by Ingmar Bergman Originally Produced and Directed on Broadway by Harold Prince May 29, 7:30pm May 30, 2:30pm. Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award–winning A Little Night Music is a sparkling, sophisticated exploration of love in its many guises. Centered on the glamorous actress Desirée Armfeldt and the men who adore her — and the women who love those men — the musical weaves a deliciously tangled web of longing, regret, and desire. Set against the elegant backdrop of 1900 Sweden, the story builds toward a fateful weekend in the country where misunderstandings multiply, jealousies erupt, and unexpected passions are exposed. Featuring one of Sondheim’s most beloved songs, “Send in the Clowns,” Eugene Opera’s production combines lush orchestral color and a vivid vocal ensemble. With the full Eugene Opera Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Andrew Bisantz and a cast of acclaimed national and local artists, this staging promises an evening of wit, romance, and emotional depth — a beautifully crafted night of theater that delights both the heart and the ear.
