Description
This special evening begins with an exploration of Leonard Bernstein’s Broadway musicals, from On the Town (1944) through Candide (1956) and West Side Story (1957), and culminates in a full production with orchestra of his rarely seen witty jazz-infused one-act opera, Trouble in Tahiti, that paints a sharp, satirical portrait of 1950s suburban life. Prosecco reception to follow.
