Candide the Musical
From 23/06/2008 to 13/07/2008 at 23:59
ENO Live at the London Coliseum
From its famous overture to the soaring, emotional finale, Candide glitters with an unforgettable score by Leonard Bernstein (West Side Story, On the Town) and brilliantly witty lyrics.
Based on Voltaire’s satirical masterpiece, Candide follows the journey of a young man who is determined to follow his tutor’s philosophy of absolute optimism - "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds”. However, his beliefs are severely challenged when he leaves the sheltered environment of his home to embark on an epic adventure across the world…
Director Robert Carsen’s award-winning new ENO co-production, the sensation of both Teatro alla Scala, Milan and the Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris, features a company and orchestra of over 100, ingenious sets and colourful costumes. Toby Spence, Anna Christy, Marnie Breckenridge, Alex Jennings and Beverley Klein lead the outstanding cast in this summer’s unmissable London musical.
"A lavish new producton. It's a dazzling show." The Sunday Times
"Candide is a smashing success." Le Figaro, France
"Aremarkable production." Die Welt, Germany
