On the F. Otto Stage
The Arden returns to the master of the American musical with this tale of love and obsession set in 19th century Italy. A handsome army captain, assigned to a remote outpost far from his married lover, finds himself pursued by a mysterious woman with a dangerous obsession. Reuniting the creative team behind the Arden’s Sunday in the Park with George, hailed by The Wall Street Journal as “one of the strongest Sondheim productions of the past decade,” this intoxicating musical boasts one of Sondheim’s most ravishing scores.
