Madison Opera presents a preview of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. Revenge is a dish best served with meat pies. After 15 years of unjust imprisonment in a penal colony, the barber Sweeney Todd returns to the gas-lit streets of Victorian London to claim vengeance on those who wronged him. Sondheim’s stunningly inventive score contains intense drama, macabre humor, lyrical purity, and an unforgettable final scene.
