While Grieg’s Peer Gynt is an orchestral standard, staging the work is a novel idea. This production, written and directed by Bill Barclay adapted from the play by Henrik Ibsen, will feature the St. Louis Symphony conducted by Stéphane Denève. Swedish soprano Camilla Tilling is a guest soloist for this May 3 performance, which promises to fill the stage with “actors, puppets, and sets.”
