Poster for Mid Wales Opera's 2025 Autumn Tour of Trouble in Tahiti by Leonard Bernstein.

About

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 technicolour escapism of Hollywood – can their 'dream marriage' survive?

Performed in Yannotta's chamber arrangement for seven instrumentalists, with a cast of five led by MWO's Music Director from the piano, the opera forms the first half of the evening, with the second half celebrating American opera and musical theatre, with a theme of The American Dream, featuring all the performers.

Music and Libretto: Leonard Bernstein
Chamber Arrangement by Bernard Yannotta

Mae opera un act Bernstein yn ddadansoddiad cain o'r Freuddwyd Americanaidd wych, trwy lygaid Sam a Dinah yn nhŷ Pastel a phriodas ffens polion gwyn yr 1950au. Mae triawd 'scat' Jazz yn rhoi sylwebaeth wrth i'r cwpl osgoi realiti eu perthynas. I Sam mae'n golygu ei gyfeillion yn y gampfa a'i waith, ac i Dinah ei therapydd a dihangfa ogoneddus Hollywood – a oes bywyd ar ôl yn eu 'priodas berffaith'?

Wedi'i pherfformio yn nhrefniant siambr Yannotta ar gyfer saith offerynwr, gyda chast o bump dan arweiniad Cyfarwyddwr Cerdd OCC o'r piano, mae'r opera'n llenwi hanner cyntaf y noson, gyda'r ail hanner yn dathlu opera a theatr gerddorol Americanaidd, gyda thema Y Freuddwyd Americanaidd, yn cynnwys yr holl berfformwyr.
