BALLET, THEATRE AND MUSIC
Bernstein: Trouble in Tahiti
Stephanie Novacek (Dinah); Karl Daymond (Sam); Tom Randle (Gardener); Toby Stafford-Allen (Milkman); Mary Hegarty (Female); Edward K Gibbon (Psychiatrist)
Tom Cairns’ cinematic film features a young and vibrant cast in Bernstein’s chamber opera. This biting satire on American suburban married life stars Stephanie Novacek as Dinah and Karl Daymond as Sam, facing a serious communication breakdown - he is obsessed with his work, she seeks escapism via the magical world of the latest movie release, Trouble in Tahiti. The score is a path-breaking fusion of lyric art with popular entertainment.
