"Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's romantic musical comedy A Little Night Music is receiving a lavish and excellent production at Arizona Opera. Sondheim's score is his most operatic, so it fits in perfectly to the opera repertoire. With a cast possessing wide vocal ranges, direction that brings out the humor and heart, and a whimsical production design, this is a warm and winning production of the rich and rewarding musical...The entire cast have vast operatic credits but are equally at home in the world of musical theatre. Patricia Racette is perfect as Desirée. She is radiant as a woman who is trying to change her past and present ways by rekindling the flames with Frederick and hoping for a future with him and her daughter as a family. Racette's rich vocal abilities deliver a warm and moving 'Send in the Clowns.... " -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
