CANDIDE

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME

Based on Voltaire’s cynical, realistic, and comic 1759 novella, Candide follows the amazing trials and tribulations of a ceaselessly optimistic young man as he makes his way through life. In the half-century since it was composed, Leonard Bernstein’s brilliant and joyous adaptation has been hailed as a landmark of American music and is a favorite in opera companies around the world.
