Opera Australia - A Little Night Music Tickets Sydney
 Three Swedish generations gather for a midsummer weekend in the country, suffused with the glow of a sun which never quite sets. Sigrid Thornton stars as Desirée Armfeldt in a musical which mixes action, words and music in equal parts. The deliciously sophisticated A Little Night Music arrives in Sydney with a much-loved star of stage and screen, Australia's own Sigrid Thornton, as Desirée Armfeldt. It is Desirée who sings the show s biggest hit, 'Send in the Clowns'. Although this unforgettable number was made famous by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Judy Collins it was written not for a singer but for an actress. Full of wise questions: isn't it rich? Are we a pair? and poignant answers: well maybe, next year... it is the dramatic turning point of a musical which mixes action, words and music in equal parts. Director Stuart Maunder and designer Roger Kirk have created a dreamy, elegant production which brings together the finesse of Australia s national opera company with the flair and energy of great music theatre. Sigrid Thornton is joined by a heavenly quintet of high society ladies and gentlemen. Meanwhile, Nancye Hayes threatens to steal the show as the feisty matriarch, Madame Armfeldt.
