The Best of all Possible Worlds
Leonard Bernstein’s Candide is a supercharged wild ride in which 18th-century France crashes into 20th-century post-war America. Take a seat and strap in tight for a mind-boggling journey as we hurtle through a fantastical world of chaos – from castles in the Alps, earthquakes in Lisbon to the Amazonian jungles beyond the Andes.
From Bernstein’s compositional brilliance to the razor wit of Dorothy Parker, Candide is an energetic romp that pulls together the best of Broadway, the champagne froth of operetta and the timeless satire of Voltaire’s original novella. WNO’s critically acclaimed production is staged by an award-winning team, who brings this zany, imaginative world to life and up to date with music, animation, dance and political bite.

Y Gorau o bob Byd Bosib
Mae Candide, gan Leonard Bernstein, yn antur wefreiddiol wyllt, lle mae bywyd yn Ffrainc yn ystod y ddeunawfed ganrif yn gwrthdaro â bywyd yn America yn yr ugeinfed ganrif, ar ôl y rhyfel. Cymerwch sedd, a pharatowch eich meddwl am daith droellog wrth i ni ruthro drwy fyd rhyfeddol yn llawn anhrefn - o gestyll yn yr Alpau, daeargrynfeydd yn Lisbon i'r jwngl Amasonaidd y tu hwnt i'r Wladfa.
Oherwydd y gymysgfa o ddawn gyfansoddol Bernstein a ffraethineb cignoeth Dorothy Parker, mae Candide yn waith egnïol sy'n dwyn ynghyd goreuon Broadway, eisin ar gacen opereta a dychan diamser nofel wreiddiol Voltaire. Mae cynhyrchiad clodwiw WNO wedi’i lwyfannu gan dîm penigamp, sy’n rhoi bywyd i'r byd dychmygol ac ecsentrig hwn gyda cherddoriaeth ddiweddar, animeiddiadau, dawns a brathiad gwleidyddol.
