Candide, a comic operetta in two acts by composer Leonard Bernstein, is based on Voltaire's novel Candide or Optimism. In his novella, Voltaire, with a great deal of irony, puts himself at the edge of Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz's philosophical theory, which explains the doctrine of optimism, in which we should live in the "best of all possible worlds". We are around 1750, in the pre-revolutionary era, and the Enlightenment philosopher's sharp reaction to the outdated theory of optimism is more than expected. If everything that exists is in the best order, then how to justify the devastating earthquake of 1755 in Lisbon, which killed more than ten thousand inhabitants, or the horrors of the Christian Inquisition?

Bernstein joins Voltaire's satire and writes a great hit, which was first performed in 1956 and has undergone countless versions and adaptations for theater stages around the world to this day.

Candide and the other heroes of the operetta naively believe in the philosophy of optimism of the teacher Pangloss. But they soon realize that the world is full of horrors, such as wars and natural disasters. In the second part of the operetta, the most unhappy man in the world, Martin, who advocates the theory of pessimism and is the complete opposite of Pangloss, enters the story. Candide eventually realizes that life is neither good nor bad. He no longer needs any philosophy, only work can make him happy.

English

Kandid, komična opereta v dveh dejanjih skladatelja Leonarda Bernsteina, je napisana po Voltairovi noveli Kandid ali optimizem. Voltaire se v svoji noveli z veliko mero ironije postavi po robu filozofski teoriji Gottfrieda Wilhelma von Leibniza, ki razlaga nauk o optimizmu, v skadu s katerim, naj bi živeli v “najboljšem vseh možnih svetov”. Nahajamo se okoli leta 1750, v predrevolucionarni dobi in ostra reakcija razsvetljenskega filozofa nad zastarelo teorijo optimizma je več kot pričakovana. Če je vse, kar obstaja, v najlepšem redu, kako torej upravičiti uničujoč potres leta 1755 v Lizboni, ki je ubil več kot deset tisoč prebivalcev ali strahote krščanske inkvizicije?

Bernstein se pridružuje Voltairovi satiri in napiše veliko uspešnico, ki je prvič uprizorjena leta 1956 in vse do današnjih časov doživi neizmerno veliko verzij in predelav za gledališke odre po vsem svetu.

Kandid in ostali junaki operete naivno verjamejo filozofiji optimizma učitelja Panglossa. Kmalu pa spoznajo, da je svet poln grozot, kot so vojne in naravne katastrofe. V drugem delu operete v zgodbo vstopi najbolj nesrečni človek na svetu, Martin, ki zagovarja teorijo pesimizma in je popolno nasprotje Panglossu. Kandid na koncu spozna, da življenje ni ne dobro, ne slabo. Nobene filozofije ne potrebuje več, osreči ga lahko le delo.
