A Little Night Music September 17, 2010

“Send in the Clowns” is sung by the glamorous actress Desirée Armfeldt, and distinguished lawyer Fredrik Egerman, is Desirée’s former lover. The third corner of this romantic triangle is the dashing Count Carl-Magnus, a dragoon who is Desirée’s current paramour and resents Fredrik’s history with her. Adding to the flirtation, romance and risqué events of the story are Anne, Fredrik’s 18-year-old trophy wife and Fredrik’s 19-year-old son Henrik, a passionate but troubled young man who is of surprising interest to his new stepmother. Also part of the story are Carl-Magnus’s stoic and long-suffering wife Charlotte and wise grandmother (and former demimonde) Madame Armfeldt.
At the heart of the show is a quintet of singers who lead us on a waltz of flirtation and romance… and offer some wry observations about life. Rounding out the cast of characters are the earthy and flirtatious maid Petra, Mme. Armfeldt’s butler, and Desirée’s precocious daughter.
