Candide — Bernstein at Komische Oper Berlin

About the Event

Allow your faith in human nature to be reinforced by the ever‐optimistic Candide. Leonard Bernstein’s only operetta takes its place in the canon alongside 'West Side Story' and 'On the Town' as the musical world celebrates the composer’s centenary year.

Barrie Kosky brings a suitably starry lineup to the Komische Oper, with internationally‐acclaimed singers including Tom Erik Lie and Johannes Dunz.
