Sweeney Todd

Production

Sweeney Todd

Sweeney Todd is a one-act ballet based on the legend of Sweeney Todd, a villain in the serial The String of Pearls. The production features a scenario, choreography, scenery, and costumes designed in the style of Victorian toy theatres. The musical score ingeniously interweaves and develops distinct themes and motifs for each of the main characters, transforming a grisly opening prelude into the main character's theme and utilizing an ingratiating waltz for a pas de deux.
