Concert Group – Candide Opera Australia
Few works in musical theatre blend satire, adventure and philosophy as masterfully as Leonard Bernstein’s Candide. Based on Voltaire’s 1759 novella, this operetta is a dazzling exploration of optimism and human folly, brought to life through Bernstein’s spirited score and a sharp-witted libretto. Concert Group travelled to the Sydney Opera House last week and witnessed Dean Bryant’s (director) genius on display: from the exuberant Overture to the soprano showpiece Glitter and Be Gay and the moving finale Make Our Garden Grow. Eddie Perfect’s leading performance delivers both a comedic and symphonic magic of Bernstein’s score that was perceived by the full house as a climactic operatic show. This dramatic spectre had everyone who attended laughing throughout and we loved watching the journey of these characters.
