Bernstein's one act opera is an exquisite dissection of the great American Dream, through the eyes of Sam and Dinah in their 1950's Pastel house and white picket fence marriage. A Jazz 'scat' trio provides a running commentary as the couple avoid the realities of their relationship. For Sam it's gym buddies and work, for Dinah trips to her therapist and the glorious technicolour escapism of Hollywood - can their 'dream marriage' survive?
Performed in Yannotta’s chamber arrangement for seven instrumentalists, with a cast of five led by MWO’s Music Director from the piano, the opera forms the first half of the evening, with the second half cabaret concert The American Dream, celebrating American opera and musical theatre and featuring all the performers.
Music and Libretto: Leonard Bernstein
Chamber Arrangement by Bernard Yannotta
