In TROUBLE IN TAHITI, Leonard Bernstein (West Side Story & On The Town) explores the sounds of Hollywood and Broadway while satirizing a troubled marriage against the backdrop of the American dream in 1950s suburbia. You are going to love this infectiously jazzy portrait of “domestic bliss” and find a glimmer of hope in its candid conclusion. BASTIEN AND BASTIENNE is a family-friendly opera, telling the story of a young couple that find themselves in a communications meltdown that challenges their relationship. They seek the help of Colas, a local “quack” magician, who helps push them in the right direction. The opera was written when Mozart was 12 years old & hints of his later, more recognized operatic works. This fun and witty musical comedy has lost none of its liveliness and freshness to this day.
