Mid Wales Opera - Trouble in TahitiMusic and Libretto: Leonard Bernstein
Chamber Arrangement by Bernard Yannotta
Bernstein's one act opera is an exquisite dissection of the great American Dream, through the eyes of Sam and Dinah in their 1950's Pastel house and white picket fence marriage. A Jazz 'scat' trio provides a running commentary as the couple avoid the realities of their relationship. For Sam it's gym buddies and work, for Dinah trips to her therapist and the glorious technicolor escapism of Hollywood - can their 'dream marriage' survive?
Performed in Yannotta’s chamber arrangement for seven musicians, with a cast of five led by MWO’s Music Director from the piano, the opera forms the first half of the evening, with a second half celebration of American opera and musical theatre, on the theme of The American Dream, featuring all the performers.
