- Opening scenes from the 2001 BBC film version of Leonard Bernstein's one-act opera, Trouble in Tahiti, with Karl Daymond (Sam), Stephanie Novacek (Dinah), Tom Randle (Gardener and Trio Singer), Toby-Stafford Allen (Milkman and Trio Singer), and Mary Hegarty (Secretary and Trio Singer). Paul Daniel conducts the City of London Sinfonia.
Can't stop listening to the delightful trio
Very enjoyable and well done version of a work that should be better known. Hints of West Side Story.
WOW I did a workshop of this right out of college, it was more of a staged reading than anything else as part of a class. So difficult to perform but so wonderful. I was way too young to even attempt it, but it was so amazing.
I'll listen to Bernstein's music anytime, anywhere..! The story is dated but it's supposed to be - a time capsule that captured much of the early sixties mentality.. My favorite will always be There Is a Garden.
Lauren Powell actually, the opera was first done in 1952, so it’s actually the early 1950’s.
@@flannerymonaghan-morris1317 Actually, you're right. Good catch Flannery! You know your Bernstein..
Lauren Powell indeed I do. And also, I know this because I am a bit of a theatre nerd too...
This is beautiful. I didn't get the opera when I first heard it 30 years ago but after MAD MEN and thinking about my father, I get it. THANKS!
Semi autobiographical. Bernstein's father 's name was indeed Sam. Dinah wasnt his mother's name but it WAS his grandmother's name. Hey in this version they actually quarrel within earshot of Junior.
Central State University just did this and it went really well!! glad this was uploaded
Una de las mejores producciones de Trouble In Tahiti :)...
just another morning at lenny and felicia's
2:10
Who’s the handsome fella playing Sam? Reminds me of some actor whose name I forgot.....
why the sound design (car noises, office, telephone, typewriter)? I like the music. Of course it's not as great as Bernstein version, but i find it pretty well done. I just really couldn't get all those noises. And sometimes it's louder than the music. But anyway. It's great to watch it.
I see what you mean. But I feel it adds to it being a film. There are creaks during performances to be fair. ;)
it’s disquieting when a toaster doesn’t ding
To be fair, Bernstein wanted it to be as realistic feeling as possible-vernacular and sounds included.
I like them. It brings the picture to life. Even on a stage, it's not sung in a vacuum; if there are plates going down on the table, you hear them. I think it's a product of adapting a stage piece to a movie or TV show. I particularly liked the kid watching the toy gun commercial, complete with machine-gun ratta-tatts. It immerses you into the actual scene that the music accompanies.
Excuse me, I can't understand what the singer says from 1:10 to 1:30. Can someone tell me the lyrics? Thanks!
She's just scat singing.
It's a parody of scatting, using deconstructed words of suburban consumerism:
Ratty Boo. Sofa so far so, Automobee, Ought to be Moby.
Sofa so far. Ever over debout. Ever tin over.
Skid a lit day. Skid a lit Ada A barbanel: who
But a barbanel buys a visa
Vic.
Suburbia!
"Sam" sings so many notes out of tune! Painful. And I miss SEEING the "greek chorus" when their music is heard.
