The Light in the Piazza with Opera Theater of St. Louis

Love awakens in the city of statues. On a sun-drenched trip to Florence, a young American girl named Clara falls head over heels for a charming Italian named Fabrizio. Their love story begins with a flying hat and a fateful glance — but beneath their whirlwind romance lies a deeper tension. Clara’s protective mother, Margaret, harbors concerns about her daughter’s special vulnerability and hesitates as the couple rushes toward marriage. *The Light in the Piazza* is a 2005 Tony-winning Broadway musical by Adam Guettel that operates in the space between musical theater and opera, frequently produced by opera companies due to its complex, romantic score and classically styled vocal requirements. It blends theatrical storytelling with a lush, heavily orchestrated sound, demanding opera-level singers for its mature roles. A contemporary drama about sweet romance. Written and sung in English. The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra performs the demanding score live. OUR SPECIAL OFFER Once again this year (based on our enthusistic response last season), Opera Theater of St. Louis is offering generously discounted seating for our group to sit together for this performance. In addition, OTSL will be setting aside space for our group to gather and picnic in one of the reserved tents in the beautiful gardens in front of the theater. We are welcomed to picnic there (as most do before the show), and we can bring our own picnic foods or you can order a lovely picnic meal in advance to be ready for you. Everyone who purchases a ticket with our Symphony Meetup discount will also receive a free cocktail or other beverage. And, prior to the performance, a representative of OTSL will speak with us at our tent to give some insights into things to watch and listen for in the performance. HOW TO ORDER DISCOUNTED SEATS WITH OUR MEETUP The following link, which has our discount code embedded, will take you directly to an OTSL gateway page for our Symphony Meetup…
