Candide Bernstein

Valide

The Nuova Harmonia cycle closes its 2018 season with the Argentine premiere of the opera Candide. The production of this famous work is entirely carried out by the Argentine Theater of La Plata, dependent on the Ministry of Cultural Management of the Province of Buenos Aires.

The show takes place in the year that marks a century since the birth of the creator of West Side History, Leonard Bernstein (1918-1990). Candide was written in 1956. The libretto with which she is represented today is by Hugh Wheeler, and is inspired by the famous philosophical tale of Voltaire Cándido, or optimism (1759).

In this satire, the French Illuminist refutes the belief that we live "in the best of all possible worlds", highlights the earthly horrors, is skeptical that the universe in general can change, but tempers his pessimism by stating that Everyone can do something to change their circumstances and make their life more prosperous ("we must cultivate our garden"). The score, without pretending to resemble those of the 18th century, nevertheless maintains a certain period tone through an imaginative combination of styles and past forms.
