A Little Night Music, a musical by Stephen Sondheim, is coming soon to the Stanford stage at Dinkelspiel Auditorium. This brilliant 1973 masterpiece by America's greatest living musical theater composer will be given four performances on January 24-26, 2019, in a full production by the Stanford Department of Music with student and community actors and orchestra.
A Little Night Music is musically and dramatically refined, with witty, subtle, stylish lyrics that make up the essence of the show. Nearly all the music is in waltz time, and the singers must deal with complex meters, polyphony, and high notes. What is A Little Night Music about? A set of people who have made mistakes in the past, now try to fix them. The midsummer night, with its perpetual daylight, "smiles" three times: first on the young, second on fools, and third on the old. And then life waltzes on.
