Trouble in Tahiti

LEONARD BERNSTEIN

Dido and Aeneas

HENRY PURCELL

Lisa Keller, music director
Chas Rader-Shieber, stage director

Can perfect happiness endure? Even when all the stars align, lovers find myriad ways to misunderstand one another in this inspired pairing of Bernstein’s jazz-inflected Trouble in Tahiti and Purcell’s regal Dido and Aeneas. Whether in sunny 1950s suburbia or the majestic Carthage of classical legend, lasting joy is elusive—but the musical journey is more than compelling.
