Description
Summary:	Comic opera set in 950's America about a suburban couple facing a breakup and their only hope is the latest film release "Trouble in Tahiti." "Leonard Berstein's satire on American suburban married life stars Stephanie Novacek as Dinah and Karl Daymond as Sam facing a serious marital breakdown, from which the latest movie release-Troube in Tahiti-seems like the only escape. Inspired by jazz and American musical comedy, the score is a path-breaking fusion of lyric art with popular entertainment."--Container
