Trouble in Tahiti / The Seven Deadly Sins
Trouble in Tahiti / The Seven Deadly Sins at Opera Holland Park, London
About the show
Buckle up for this rip-roaring journey through 20th-century America where dreams unravel, hearts break, yet hope glimmers.
Appearances are not what they seem for Sam and Dinah, the 'perfect' suburban couple in Leonard Bernstein's Trouble in Tahiti, whilst Anna (The Seven Deadly Sins) must find her way through seven American cities to support her family — but will she lose herself?
This unmissable double bill, part of the much-anticipated Opera Holland Park summer season and starring critically acclaimed soprano Stephanie Wake-Edwards as Anna, tours moral chaos and the superficiality of perfectionism. As relevant now as ever before, the production offers a gateway to opera as well as a fresh perspective on the works and legacy of the titan of musical theatre, Leonard Bernstein.
Trouble in Tahiti is a 40 minute opera in English; The Seven Deadly Sins is also approximately 40 minutes, sung in German with English surtitles.
