Join the WNO for the rip-roaring rollercoaster that is Candide
Leonard Bernstein's Whirlwind Opera.
The Welsh National Opera sets out on tour once more, bringing an array of productions to audiences across the country. From classics like Cosi Fan Tutte and The Magic Flute to new commissions like Blaze of Glory! there is plenty to enjoy from the esteemed company as they continue their mission to prove the power of Opera can transform lives.
Live the best of all possible worlds when they bring Leonard Bernstein and Dorothy Parker's whirlwind Candide to a stage near you, from the award-winning team behind The Snow Queen.
What is the story?
Based on Voltaire's 1759 novella, Candide is all at once a love story, a drama, a thriller, and a tragedy rolled into one merry-go-round of ever-revived characters who populate our hero's journey. From living in a swanky castle as a Baron's illegitimate son to a beggar on the streets to earthquake-causing heretic and much much more in-between, prepare to follow a dazzling story that fills the auditorium with glee and wonder.
