	Candide (operetta) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Candide (1956) is a comic operetta by Leonard Bernstein, based on the novella of the same name by Voltaire.
		Candide is most famous for its colorful and varied score, many parts of which are very well known, especially in musical circles.
		Candide is most famous for its popular overture which is often performed alone as a concert piece.

	Candide: The Musical
		Candide is thrilled to find his former lover alive, but the reunion is cut short by the arrival of the Jew who has come to pay his mistress a visit.
		He is enfuriated to find Candide in the apartment and draws his sword, fully intending to slice the young man to pieces, but in his pursuit, he drops his sword, and when Candide helpfully picks it up, the Jew rushes upon it, accidentally impaling himself.
		Making their escape, Candide and Cunegonde, along with the Old Lady, board a vessel heading for the New World, but, as luck would have it, the vessel is attacked by pirates, and Cunegonde, along with the Old Lady, is carried off for another round of ravishment.

	Candide Performance
		The School of Music and the Department of Theatre are joining forces for the demanding and gloriously satirical musical, Candide, by Leonard Bernstein and Richard Wilbur.
		"Candide is one of the most outstanding examples in American music of a true melding of opera-musical theatre tradition,” explains Karen Peeler, director of the School of Music’s opera/music theatre program.
		Exploring a world dominated by violence, greed, war and hatred, it tells the story of Candide, the illegitimate nephew of a German baron who falls in love with the baron’s young daughter and is expelled from the castle.

		Candide, you'll recall, is a bit of a secular Job, or perhaps an Everyman -- a young bastard son who has been treated to the bastardized philosophy of Leibniz, a hopeful yet fatalistic Christian version of reality and its necessity in the scheme of God.
		Candide's mentor, Pangloss (portrayed rightfully with mock grandeur by Braxton Peters, who shines in many other roles as well), is a sophist's sophist, redressing sex and other mundane matters in an elaborate series of denials and rationalizations for his lust.
		After Candide is told by Cunegonde's noble family to stay away from her, our hero is forced by draft agents from the Bulgarian king's army to enlist.

		Forced to fend for himself, Candide, on the eve of war with the neighboring Bulgarians, is tricked into enlisting in the enemy army, and endures many other mishaps.
		Candide and Pangloss, both good Westphalian Protestants, are arrested by the Inquisition and dragged to a great gala auto-da-fé, which the Holy Mother Church believes will, by burning the heretics, discourage future earthquakes.
		Candide, Cunegonde and the Old Lady are forced to flee to Cadiz where, having lost their money, the Old Lady tried to repair their fortunes by offering her body to the elderly Dons in the city square.

	Candide / The Songs
		Pilgrims Procession was used for Candide and Paquette, while the chorus from Dear Boy introduced Cunegonde, and Maximilian was introduced with a theme from the "Lady Frilly" section of the Venice Gavotte.
		It seems the Scottish were skittish about having Candide sing about "all that I killed and died for." I consider it to be a musical companion to Candide's Lament of the first act.
		Candide is reassuring the Pilgrims in the face of their plight, while in alternate verses Martin makes his pessimistic world view even more clearer.

		I suspect most readers of "Candide" would agree that the tale is a wittily effective antidote to brainless optimism.
		Certain forms of exhibitionism are to be encouraged, and Harolyn Blackwell's strutting her impressive set of vocal cords in the new revival of "Candide," which opened Tuesday night at the Gershwin Theater, is definitely one of them.
		The score of "Candide" remains absolutely delectable, and the orchestra performs it beautifully under the direction of Eric Stern.

	Candide and Summerfolk
		But I would go further and say it is a theatre for the world because they not only produce plays by authors from all over the world but also tour different global stages with their plays.
		Both Candide and Summerfolk are presently being performed at the Olivier theatre, named after Sir Laurence Olivier who had conceived of the idea of ensemble acting.
		Candide which opened at the Olivier last April 13th is a three and a half hour musical adapted by Hugh Wheeler in a new version by John Caird from Voltaire's novel of the same title.

		Candide is based on a famous novel by Voltaire, a satiric story about an innocent young man who believes that eventually all is for the best, in this best of all possible worlds.
		Candide was originally a collaboration between Composer Leonard Bernstein and Playwright Lillian Hellman.
		Bernstein was writing Candide with Hellman (and lyricist John LaTouche) at the same time that he was writing West Side Story with Sondheim, and indeed, several numbers originally intended for one show ended up in the other.

		"Candide," is the theatric adaption of Voltaire's timeless story by Leonard Bernstein and Richard Wilbur.
		Based on Voltaire's 1759 novelette, "Candide" first opened on Broadway in 1956 and introduced a world dominated by violence, greed, war, and hatred.
		Originally, "Candide" was not successful, however, the one aspect of the performance that gained the attention needed to justify its subsequent re-creation was the music.

	Candide
		In Candide’s - and our - world all soldiers are heroes (as long as they are on your side), the established church is hypocritical and romantic love brings with it the threat of fatal disease.
		Ultimately, Candide’s adventures seem to give credence to both theories and to illustrate Voltaire’s point that there is no one single ideology by which we should live, no one perfect solution to life’s problems.
		Alex Kelly’s Cunegonde is suitably coquettish at the outset, displays increasingly desperate powers of manipulation and self justification as the obstacles pile up, and is ultimately touching as she finds a kind of redemption at the play’s end.

	Great Performances . Leonard Bernstein's "Candide" in Concert . Essay . The Great American Musical Rescue \| PBS
		As "Candide" was revived across the country and in Europe, much of the Bernstein score was restored, and today the "comic operetta" (as it can most accurately be described) is a combination of the original 1956 version and the 1973 revised revival.
		As the philosophical Dr. Pangloss might say, today's "Candide" is "the best of all possible Candides." Ironically, there is no definitive "Candide." Every production picks and chooses from the wide selection of songs and instrumental pieces that have been used over the years.
		Before his death in 1990, Bernstein himself conducted a complete recording of all the "Candide" musical variations; it is a dazzling, remarkable collection, but not something that can be put on the stage effectively.

		The many changes made to Candide over the years reflect both Leonard Bernstein's authorial interests in perfecting his own work, and the interests of different producers who felt a need to adapt - as economically as possible - their theater spaces to the gigantic demands made on them by the musicalÕs book and score.
		The book for "Candide" is based on a novella published in 1759 by the famous French philosophe Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet).

		We’re talking here about a revival of the 1974 "Candide," the conceptual one by Harold Prince who appropriated the original 1956 Leonard Bernstein music and Richard Wilbur lyrics from Stephan Sondheim and John LaTouche, threw out the Lillian Hellman book and persuaded Hugh Wheeler to provide a new and much funnier one.
		Chris Van Fleet’s Candide is the right Everyman for the job: not too handsome, not too bright, not too good, not too dumb.
		Of course, the classy music and lyrics don’t hurt, from Candide and Cunegonde’s "Oh Happy We" to his solo "It Must Be So," her exceptional "Glitter and Be Gay" and the rousing "Auto da Fe," or what a slam-bang day for an execution.

		Candide was a child of the 18th century and 1950s and should remain so.
