a little night music | Eine nächtliche Musikperformance nach Motiven von Stephen Sondheim

In the organizer's words:

First a classical singing degree at Ithaca College, New York - then a career as one of Berlin's most exciting performers. The US-American Jessica Gadani was already absolutely ravishing in Ariel Ashbel's production "NEO DOME I" in the last "Mannheimer Sommer". Reason enough to ask her to give a completely new solo performance in the Apollo Temple in Schwetzingen Palace Gardens this time. And not during the day - but at night, at a time when the dark park is normally closed and all the lights have gone out. Based on Stephen Sondheim's 1973 musical "A Little Night Music", Jessica Gadani creates a twilight serenade that tells of the nocturnal side of life, of the hours in which wisdom and folly merge. "The summer night smiles three Mays: once for the young who know nothing yet, a second time for the stupid who know too little and a third time for the old who know too much," says Sondheim. That's why a group of daring people will make their way through the darkness to the Temple of the Sun on three festival days as the conclusion of our program in the castle. Perhaps you will be there?
