Leonard Bernstein: Trouble in Tahiti

Leonard Bernstein's Trouble in Tahiti is a tragicomic tale of the eroding marriage of Sam and Dinah (characters loosely based on Bernstein's own parents) and the failure of the white-washed American Dream.

Tom Cairns' cinematic film of Bernstein's chamber opera features a young and vibrant cast, set in the Fifties. This biting satire on American suburban married life stars Stephanie Novacek as Dinah and Karl Daymond as Sam.
