A Little Night Music

May 22 - Jun 26, 2027

Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by Hugh Wheeler

A summer waltz of wit, want, and regret.

 

When actress Désirée Armfeldt invites an intricate web of former lovers, uneasy couples, and longtime companions for a weekend at a countryside manor, memory and desire collide. Old longings resurface, new romances blossom, and carefully arranged lives begin to slip out of balance — leading each person to question where their hearts actually lie.  

Winner of six Tony Awards, Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music is a luminous blend of comedy and longing, capturing the ache of love, regret, and the question of what might have been. Featuring a ravishing, waltz-filled score — including the beloved ballad “Send in the Clowns” — this fresh staging of a modern classic is sure to captivate musical theater fans and opera lovers alike.

 

All performances are accompanied by members of the Grammy Award-winning St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
