About the Program

Dayton Opera presents Stephen Sondheim’s hit musical thriller, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Performed on Broadway and in opera houses worldwide, the Tony Award-winning modern masterpiece boasts razor-sharp wit and a brilliant score. Fully staged with Victorian-era costumes and sets, Sweeney Todd tells the grisly story of a murderous barber and his deranged sidekick who serve up vengeance with a tasty side of dark humor. Parental discretion advised.
