Show Name: Trouble in Tahiti
TROUBLE IN TAHITI Music and Libretto: Leonard Bernstein Chamber Arrangement by Bernard Yannotta Bernstein's one act opera is an exquisite dissection of the great American Dream, through the eyes of Sam and Dinah in their 1950's Pastel house and white picket fence marriage. A Jazz 'scat' trio provides a running commentary as the couple avoid the realities of their relationship. For Sam it's gym buddies and work, for Dinah trips to her therapist and the glorious technicolour escapism of Hollywood - can their 'dream marriage' survive? Performed in Yannotta’s chamber arrangement for seven instrumentalists, with a cast of five led by MWO’s Music Director from the piano, the opera forms the first half of the evening, with the second half celebrating American opera and musical theatre, with a theme of The American Dream, featuring all the performers.
