PORTOpera
PORTopera's Young Artists, our rising stars, tackle a truly American opera. Trouble in Tahiti is the suburban drama of Sam and Dinah who, despite the gilded cheeriness of the 1950s, live lives of not-so-quiet desperation. Bernstein's wonderful score echoes the sonic vernacular of the 50s with a remix of softened bebop, cool jazz, Mitch Miller pop, TV tracks, radio commercials, and Broadway themes.
"To me, this opera is, in its simplest form, a statement about love in (suburban) America. It remains a scholarly criticism of the sanctity and (dare I say!) the purpose of marriage. You may also take away an exploration in feminism; an argument against capitalism; and an investigation of escapism. Mostly, though, what I think is magical about this opera is that it is a perfect, painful, beautiful slice of life."
- Richard Gammon, Director
