about Candide
Voltaire's signature satire, Bernstein's stunning score, and several dashes of slapstick comedy—it's the best of all possible worlds. Follow the optimist Candide as he faces romantic rejection, natural disasters, the Inquisition—you know, the everyday ups and downs of life.
Resident Conductor Lina González-Granados leads Bernstein's opera-meets-Broadway hybrid, with songs such as "Glitter and Be Gay" and "Make Our Garden Grow." Tag along with our intrepid hero on a round-the-world adventure, surrounded by a feast of 18th-century eye candy courtesy of Tony Award-winning designer Jennifer Moeller.
Music by Leonard Bernstein. Book adapted from Voltaire by Hugh Wheeler, in a new version by John Caird. Lyrics by Richard Wilbur. Additional lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, John La Touche, Lillian Hellman, Dorothy Parker and Leonard Bernstein.
