Opera at USC: Sunday in the Park with George

“My favorite musical of all time.” – Stephen Colbert

Inspired by Georges Seurat’s famous painting “A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte,” Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s musical depicts the journey, the joy and the heartbreak of an artist committed to realizing his vision. Considered a masterpiece of Sondheim and Lapine, “Sunday in the Park with George” merges past and present into beautiful, poignant truths about life, love and the creation of art. One of the most acclaimed musicals of our time, this moving study of the enigmatic painter won a Pulitzer Prize and was nominated for 10 Tony Awards including Best Musical.
