The Story of A Little Night Music
Based on Ingmar Bergman’s film Smiles of a Summer Night, A Little Night Music is set in turn-of-the-century Sweden. The show has been described as ” a fairy tale for adults”.

Soon, Fredrik and Desirée resume their romance, incurring the wrath of her current lover, a pompous Count. The couples, various, all come together at a country estate weekend party. And there, under the summer night, things are set to right as a kind of midsummer magic works on them all.
