Central City Opera’s A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC (2009). The clowns: Sylvia McNair (Desiree Armfeldt) and Roberth Orth (Frederik Egerman).

The performance, the music, the staging: Last night was extraordinary.

This is a dark story with bright sparks of hope. A man looses his wife, has an affair, finally marries a woman younger than his son and treats her like a daughter. In the end, couples renew their commitments to each other. The message: Hope is well-founded, even clowns can find happiness. God keeps offering all of us clowns another chance.

Wonderful Central City Opera production in the fantastic crown jewel of the Rockies, the Tabor House.
