Cape Town Opera presents a dazzling evening with Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music, his elegant musical of love, longing and second chances.
30 June - 12 July 2026.


Sondheim’s elegant musical of love, longing and second chances. Witty, romantic and crowned with the iconic “Send in the Clowns.” Elegant, clever, and achingly romantic, Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music waltzes audiences into a world where love, regret, and desire collide under the midsummer moon. Set in turn-of-the-century Sweden, this sumptuous musical follows a web of lovers – past, present, and hopeful – as they navigate the follies of the heart. With one of Sondheim’s most ravishing scores, including the immortal “Send in the Clowns,” A Little Night Music is at once champagne-bright and piercingly honest. Sophisticated, sensual, and quietly devastating, it’s a luminous celebration of love in all its beautiful, complicated forms.
