When Leonard Bernstein and his group of sparky librettists chose Voltair´s revolutionary Age of Enlightenment novella to create an operetta they took on a major challenge. The story – about an innocent youth who weathers a series of spectacular misfortunes, but emerges resolutely optimistic – races around the world embracing earthquakes, murders, furious fires and all manner of disasters. But Bernstein was undaunted, producing a fabulous score which reflects all the bitter-sweet joy, sarcasm, wit and wonder of the text.

We´re thrilled to have distinguished actor Kevin Whately as our narrator, brilliant young tenor Anthony Gregory as Candide, and award-winning young South African soprano Vuvu Mpofu as Cunegonde, and great Norwegian mezzo Randi Stene as the Old Lady. Candide is directed by rising star Thom Southerland.

Semi-staged concert
Candide is usually presented as a semi-staged concert. This means that the singers and actors are wearing costume elements and there is a limited number of props. The Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra is on stage during semi-staged concerts in and in the pit during fully staged operas.
