“Premiered in 1952, Leonard Bernstein’s Trouble in Tahiti is an opera set in a single day. Sam, played here by Jack Holton – Jake Wallace in OHP’s La Fanciulla del West – is a successful but emotionally distant businessman. Dinah, played by Alexandria Moon, is his frustrated wife looking for more. Bright radio-style choruses clash with the lonely lives of Sam and Dinah, revealing a marriage caught between glossy fantasy and emotional truth. Featuring the tour de force aria – What a movie! – for Dinah.”
