Trouble in Tahiti


General Admission

Discover the sharp wit and striking honesty of TROUBLE IN TAHITI, a bold and intimate work by Leonard Bernstein. Set in the picture-perfect suburbs of 1950s America, this one-act opera peels back the glossy façade of domestic bliss to reveal the quiet frustrations and emotional distance within a seemingly ideal marriage.


At the center are Sam and Dinah, a couple struggling to connect amid the pressures of modern life, their conversations missing each other at every turn. Meanwhile, a bright, jazzy vocal trio cheerfully sells a dream of happiness and harmony, offering a stark contrast to the loneliness unfolding beneath the surface. Blending satire, sophistication, and a richly expressive score, TROUBLE IN TAHITI invites audiences to look closer at what it really means to have it all—and what happens when something vital is missing.
