Description:
Based on Voltaire’s satirical masterpiece and set to Leonard Bernstein’s glorious music, Candide tells the story of a young man, Candide, who is determined to follow his instructor's creed of mindless optimism. Even after being banished from his homeland, captured by Bulgarians, beaten by the Spanish Inquisition, robbed of everything he owns, and torn repeatedly from the woman he loves, Candide still clings to the philosophy that everything is for the best in this, "the best of all possible worlds."

This production will be sung in English with surtitles.
