Ved første øjekast synes ‘Trouble in Tahiti’ at handle om to helt almindelige mennesker, der lever deres helt almindelige liv i en helt almindelig forstad – to ægtefolk, som udadtil synes at have det perfekte liv. Men nedenunder ser vi to ulykkelige og ensomme mennesker, der ikke kan kommunikere med hinanden, og som længes efter kærligheden.

Vi følger det amerikanske ægtepar Sam og Dinah gennem en dag i deres liv i 1950’ernes USA og overværer deres skænderier og længsel efter samhørighed. Deres voksende adskillelse i deres daglige liv afslører en gensidig følelse af fangenskab – i en hverdag, som efterhånden har udviklet sig til en overfladisk løgn.  

 

‘Trouble in Tahiti’ handler om den følelsesmæssige fattigdom, som kan følge med, når man dedikerer sit liv til at tjene penge for at opretholde sin status – og så glemmer hinanden og kærligheden i farten. Operaen fra 1951 er en en-akts opera med et lille cast på blot fem medvirkende og otte musikere. Den har et moderne og jazzet tonesprog, som leder tankerne hen imod Broadway, og det er ét af blot to værker, som Leonard Bernstein skrev både ord og musik til. I øvrigt baserede han denne historie på sine egne forældres forhold. 

En socialrealistisk fortælling som denne er ikke noget, vi møder ofte i den klassiske operas verden. Leonard Bernstein gør i løbet af operaen det helt almindelige til noget ganske særligt, så krisen i Sam og Dinahs forhold bliver en relevant og forandrende livskrise, som vi alle kan forholde os til; parforholdet og kernefamilien, som, i stedet for at skabe tryghed og mening, bliver fremmedgørende og isolerende.

dansk

At first glance, 'Trouble in Tahiti' seems to be about two ordinary people living their ordinary lives in an ordinary suburb - two married people who outwardly seem to have the perfect life. But underneath we see two unhappy and lonely people who cannot communicate with each other and who long for love.
We follow the American couple Sam and Dinah through a day in their life in 1950s USA and witness their arguments and longing for togetherness. Their growing separation in their daily lives reveals a mutual sense of captivity – in an everyday life that has gradually evolved into a superficial lie.  

 

'Trouble in Tahiti' is about the emotional poverty that can accompany when you dedicate your life to making money to maintain your status - and then forget each other and love in the process. The opera from 1951 is a one-act opera with a small cast of just five actors and eight musicians. It has a modern and jazzy tonal language that brings to mind Broadway, and it is one of only two works for which Leonard Bernstein wrote both words and music. Incidentally, he based this story on his own parents' relationship. 

A social realist tale like this is not something we often encounter in the world of classical opera. During the course of the opera, Leonard Bernstein turns the very ordinary into something very special, so that the crisis in Sam and Dinah's relationship becomes a relevant and life-changing crisis that we can all relate to; the couple relationship and the nuclear family, which, instead of creating security and meaning, become alienating and isolating.
