Candide

· ⭐ 0 · Votes: 0
When young Candide's marriage offer to a baron's daughter backfires the naïve student of optimism is hurled into an eye-opening journey around the globe discovering the horrors of existence at every step. Turning Voltaire’s Candide a stinging blast against tyranny and feigned moralising into toe-wiggling musical theatre is a crazy idea. Bernstein revised his operetta countless times before settling on the final version. The Grange Festival’s 2018 semi-staged production commemorates the composer’s 100th birthday.
