‘PIAZZA’ – “TO THE BEAUTY OF LIFE”

True love is an awakening. A discovery. It can reveal itself in an instant, at the drop of a hat or a change in the wind, as it does in the early moments of the Tony Award-winning musical “The Light in the Piazza,” the superb Scenario Two production anchored by the matchless performances of four-time Grammy Award winner and Tony nominee Renée Fleming in the role of Margaret Johnson, three-time Olivier Award winner Alex Jennings as Signor Naccarelli and the exceptionally talented rising stars Solea Pfeiffer and Rob Houchen as the young lovers Clara and Fabrizio. Originating in London and making its national debut in Los Angeles before the highly anticipated Chicago run that opened Saturday at Lyric Opera House, this glorious and lush production is under the direction of Daniel Evans with Kimberly Grigsby conducting the extraordinary Lyric Opera Orchestra.
