Trouble in Tahití

Leonard Bernstein's chamber opera "Trouble in Tahiti," presented by Ópera de Tenerife, transports the audience to an affluent American neighbourhood in the 1950s. The narrative revolves around Dinah's disillusionment with her husband Sam, who is immersed in his career and personal pleasures. This portrayal of a middle-class marriage reflects an avoided sentimental crisis, leading them to seek refuge in consumerism and the American dream. Irony unfolds through a jazz trio acting as a tragic chorus amid disputes. An experience that merges music, drama and social critique.
