Vale Stephen Sondheim.
State Opera South Australia acknowledges the passing of a great amongst the greats, composer and lyricist Stephen Sondheim, who died yesterday aged 91.
Sondheim said that the greatest lesson he learned as a composer was to “write what you feel”. There is no question that his writing made us all feel alive, in love, in rage, and ultimately thankful that such a genius walked the earth.
State Opera is honoured to have a long-standing connection to his work, particularly to Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, pictured here in our 2021 season and first performed by the company in 1987. #sweeneytodd #stephensondheim #sondheim

What a loss. He was a giant in his field. I was at an early performance of Sweeney Todd in the 80s, I think. It was a dazzling production by Gayle Edwards. So, yes, I was there again this year, to enjoy a fabulous production with stand out performances particularly by Antoinette Halloran. We in SA have certainly celebrated the genius of this man. Vale Stephen Sondheim. The world is the poorer for your passing.

"That’s the familiarity Teddy and Guy fostered. A one-off chance to get to know these great artists who are normally remote behind the 88s and costumes in more formal performance and character modes." - David Grybowski, The Barefoot Review
