Love awakens in the city of statuesÂ
On a sun-drenched trip to Florence, a young American girl named Clara falls head over heels for a charming Italian named Fabrizio. Their love story begins with a flying hat and a fateful glance — but beneath their whirlwind romance lies a deeper tension. Clara’s over-protective mother, Margaret, harbors concerns about her daughter’s vulnerability and hesitates as the couple rushes toward marriage. Despite language barriers and cultural confusion, the warmth of Fabrizio’s family begins to change everything. With lush music and heartfelt emotion, The Light in the Piazza is a shimmering tale of hope and love.
All performances are accompanied by members of the Grammy Award-winning St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.
