Piedmont Opera presents a new production of Stephen Sondheim \u2018s Tony Award-winning<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A Little Night Music<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. \u2013 Everybody’s either doing ‘it’ or desperately looking to, though seldom with their respective spouses, in Sondheim\u2019s Tony Award-winning musical A Little Night Music<\/i><\/b>, a turn-of-the-last century tale. The result is a riotous hodgepodge of high jinx set to a glorious score written almost entirely in a waltz tempo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Desiree Armfeldt (Diane Alexander) is a road-weary, middle-aged actress who’s counted among her many lovers Fredrik Egerman (Scott MacLeod), a middle-aged man now married to an 18-year old virgin, Anne (Jennifer DeLatte). His son Henrik (Jesse Darden), an aspiring priest, is secretly in love with Anne. Meanwhile, Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm (Michael Redding) is sleeping with Desiree, much to the chagrin of his wife Countess Charlotte Malcolm (Janine Hawley). They all spend “A Weekend in the Country” at the home of Desiree’s mother Madame Armfeldt (Robin Voiers) where a happy ending doesn’t seem likely.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

“Sondheim created a stunning tour de force when he took Ingmar Bergman\u2019s comedy of manners,Smiles of a Summer Night<\/em>, and turned it into a musical of masterful execution and elegance. Winner of four TONY Awards, this musical work has forever entranced the world of theatre.<\/p>\n

Set in 1900 Sweden, A Little Night Music<\/em><\/strong><\/a> explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desir\u00e9e Armfeldt and the men who love her: a lawyer by the name of Fredrik Egerman and the Count Carl-Magnus Malcom. When the traveling actress performs in Fredrik\u2019s town, the estranged lovers\u2019 passion rekindles. This strikes a flurry of jealousy and suspicion between Desir\u00e9e, Fredrik, Fredrick\u2019s wife, Anne, Desir\u00e9e\u2019s current lover, the Count, and the Count\u2019s wife, Charlotte. Both men \u2014 as well as their jealous wives \u2014 agree to join Desir\u00e9e and her family for a weekend in the country at Desir\u00e9e\u2019s mother\u2019s estate. With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises.<\/p>\n

A Little Night Music<\/strong><\/em> is full of hilariously witty and heartbreaking moments of adoration, regret and desire. This dramatic musical celebration of love contains Sondheim\u2019s popular song, the haunting \u201cSend in the Clowns.\u201d<\/p>\n
