PHILHARMONIE DE PARIS – CITÉ DE LA MUSIQUE

Leonard Bernstein’s vocal works are at the heart of Opera Fuoco’s repertoire. After West Side Story and Candide, David Stern has chosen to explore less frequently performed American works. While one of the company’s founding axes is the promotion of unjustly forgotten Baroque, Classical and Romantic works, it has also made it its mission to explore the American repertoire, an ideal entry point for the public and an important building block for the soloists of the Opera Fuoco Young Artists Program. David Stern takes on this new production with a perfect understanding of the composer’s language, both musical and psychological. Leonard Bernstein wrote Trouble in Tahiti on his honeymoon. Created in 1952, this mini-opera tells the story of Sam and Dinah, a couple who seem to have fallen out of love. Bernstein’s lyrical writing captures the fragility of two human beings and their immense solitude behind the banality of a household bored with love. The composer seems to have taken his inspiration directly from his parents’ relationship, making the plot almost naturalistic. He would later write a sequel to this story in A Quiet Place.
