...back in the summer of 2004. I wish they'd revive it. It was essentially a transfer of the NY City Opera production. The LA Opera very smartly cast it with all musical theatre actors rather than with opera singers. I only saw it once, but wish I'd had a chance to go back. It remains one of the most enchanting nights I've spent in the theatre. Such a treat to hear that glorious score played by a 40-piece orchestra. And, I mean, this was the cast. I'd argue that no stronger ensemble has been cast in Night Music since the original production: Desiree Armfeldt - Judith Ivey Fredrik Egerman - Victor Garber Anne Egerman - Laura Benanti Fredrika Armfeldt - Kristen Bell Madame Armfeldt - Zoe Caldwell Henrik Egerman - Danny Gurwin Petra - Jessica Boevers Count Carl-Magnus Malcolm - Marc Kudisch Countess Charlotte Malcolm - Michelle Pawk
