LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER
SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET IN CONCERT.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 @ 8:00PM
For more than a dozen years now the New York Philharmonic has featured an annual presentation of one of the glories of Broadway’s American musical theater canon. In the year 2000 it was Stephen Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd.” So successful were those performances that it was decided to bring back “Sweeney Todd” in a stunning recreation for 2014, conducted this time by the Philharmonic’s Music Director, Alan Gilbert, and starring, in the title role, opera’s reigning bass-baritone, Bryn Terfel, and with two-time Oscar winner, Emma Thompson, as Todd’s helpmate, Mrs.Lovett. This remarkable performance will be our Live From Lincoln Center offering on September 26, 2014.
