Trouble in Tahiti - Semperoper Dresden
The operetta "Trouble in Tahiti" takes the stage at Semperoper Dresden.
Trouble in Tahiti is a one-act opera by Leonard Bernstein, composed in 1952 with a libretto written by the composer himself. Set in 1950s American suburbia, it follows a married couple whose relationship is quietly falling apart. The score draws heavily on jazz and popular music idioms, giving the work a distinctive sound among 20th-century operas.

The operetta "Trouble in Tahiti" takes the stage at Semperoper Dresden.

Two contrasting one-act operas share the stage: Bartók's brooding "Herzog Blaubarts Burg" paired with Bernstein's sharp domestic drama "Trouble in Tahiti" at Theater Mönchengladbach.
