Such critiques are now so commonplace that it may be difficult to appreciate the opera's political edge unless it is seen against the backdrop of repression that marked the years following World War II: in an era in which a group as mainstream as the League of Women Voters was denounced as a "communist front organization," Trouble in Tahiti's criticisms risked reprisals.[1] Keywords: Musicals | Leonard Bernstein | Trouble in Tahiti | Gender | Feminism | Post World War II era Article: Leonard Bernstein's short opera Trouble in Tahiti (1951-52) is a humorous but scathing satire on postwar consumerism and bourgeois marriage.

  • This Year Marks Leonard Bernstein's 100Th Birthday, and Some Philly Arts
    This year marks Leonard Bernstein’s 100th birthday, and some Philly arts and culture institutions are teaming up to celebrate his centenary with eye- and ear-opening firsts. We know Bernstein best for works such as West Side Story, but his 1951 opera, Trouble in Tahiti, also became an important cultural touchstone. It satirized the outwardly perfect and inwardly tumultuous family life of a suburban couple in 1950s America. But things got darker in the mid-1980s, when Bernstein revisited the same fictional family 30 years later, as a death calls them home, with 1983’s A Quiet Place. Bernstein’s last stage work In 1980, Bernstein teamed with 30-year-old writer Stephen Wadsworth in their joint inspiration for a sequel to Trouble in Tahiti, while they were both grappling with tragic losses in their own lives. The work would combine vernacular speech and music with relatable middle-class woes, performed through a mix of American musical theater and contemporary opera styles that was unusual and polarizing at the time. A Quiet Place premiered in Houston in 1983 as a one-act opera on a double bill with Trouble in Tahiti. Original conductor John Mauceri thought Bernstein and Wadsworth could revisit the two works again. They developed a new version of A Quiet Place that incorporated Trouble in Tahiti, creating one opera with the family’s complete arc, alternating between past and present and becoming a map of a changing U.S. culture from the 1950s to the ’80s. The revised A Quiet Place debuted successfully at La Scala in 1984 and went on to the Kennedy Center before returning to Europe.

    chamber music with a modernist edge. His Piano Sonata (1938) reflected his Leonard Bernstein ties to Copland, with links also to the music of Hindemith and Stravinsky, and his Sonata for Clarinet and Piano (1942) was similarly grounded in a neoclassical aesthetic. The composer Paul Bowles praised the clarinet sonata as having a "tender, sharp, singing quality," as being "alive, tough, integrated." It was a prescient assessment, which ultimately applied to Bernstein’s music in all genres. Bernstein’s professional breakthrough came with exceptional force and visibility, establishing him as a stunning new talent. In 1943, at age twenty-five, he made his debut with the New York Philharmonic, replacing Bruno Walter at the last minute and inspiring a front-page story in the New York Times.

  • Psalms Devotionals
    Read Psalm 1 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Psalms 1:6 When our family moved to Memphis from Missouri, all I had to go on for directions was Mapquest. So as we were getting closer to our new home, I turned off on the exit that the website had given, which I soon regretted. We must have arrived in the same Memphis ghetto that inspired Elvis to write his song. It was congested and difficult to get the U- haul through some of traffic that we were encountering. After finally arriving at our apartment, my brother-in-law who was following us in his car suggested that next time I just look at a map instead of blindly trusting a website. Have you ever just taken someone’s word on the right way to go? Unfortunately, we live in a society of know-it-alls. In an effort to appear more important or smarter than they really are, some people are willing to simply say whatever comes into their head. I would like to tell you this is an epidemic amongst the lost only, but there are plenty of believers who get wrapped up in self-importance and can lead us astray. Believers have to remember that when man is confused, God is not. Surround yourself with godly people who can give you counsel, but remember that ultimately God’s going to reveal His will for your life to you. This verse says that God knows the way of the righteous and it literally means He "approves" it.

  • Oberlin Opera Theater Presents “A Salute to Leonard Bernstein” by Mike Telin
    Oberlin Opera Theater presents “A Salute to Leonard Bernstein” by Mike Telin When Leonard Bernstein wrote his one-act opera Trouble in Tahiti in ​ ​ 1951, Harry Truman was president, unemployment was at 3.3%, and new roads were built to accommodate the increasing numbers of cars. A gallon of gas cost 19 cents, a loaf of bread 16 cents, and a dozen eggs 24 cents. I ​ Love Lucy debuted on television, ​ Disney’s Alice in Wonderland was ​ ​ released in movie theaters, and, the American Dream could only be achieved by moving to the suburbs. This week, Oberlin Opera Theater will celebrate the 100th birthday of Leonard Bernstein with a tribute that includes Trouble in Tahiti along with music from his hit ​ ​ Broadway shows West Side Story, Candide, On the Town, and Wonderful Town. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Performances take place in Hall Auditorium at 8:00 pm on Wednesday, November 7, Friday, November 9, and Saturday, November 10, and at 2:00 pm on Sunday, November 11. Raphael Jiménez leads the Oberlin Orchestra. Tickets are available online. ​ “The opera is a social commentary on life in suburbia,” Oberlin Opera Theater Director Jonathon Field said during an interview. Trouble in Tahiti opens with a jazz ​ ​ vocal trio espousing the virtues of living in a little white house in places such as Scarsdale, Highland Park, and Shaker Heights. “They’re singing about what was supposed to be the good life and all the things you were supposed to strive for. But Sam and Dinah discover that in reality, the idyllic 1950s suburban life in America is not all it’s cracked up to be.” Bernstein wrote the libretto as well as the music — and as a piece of social commentary, Field said that the opera does predict the future.
