Cerddoriaeth a Libreto: Leonard Bernstein Trefniant Siambr gan Bernard Yannotta Cyfarwyddwr Cerddoriaeth: Jonathan Lyness Cyfarwyddwr/Cynllunydd: Richard Studer Mae opera un act Bernstein yn ddadansoddiad cain o'r Freuddwyd Americanaidd wych, trwy lygaid Sam a Dinah yn nh Pastel a phriodas ffens polion gwyn yr 1950au. Mae triawd 'scat' Jazz yn rhoi sylwebaeth wrth i'r cwpl osgoi realiti eu perthynas. I Sam mae'n golygu ei gyfeillion yn y gampfa a'i waith, ac i Dinah ei therapydd a dihangfa ogoneddus Hollywood a oes bywyd ar l yn eu 'priodas berffaith'? Wedi'i pherfformio yn nhrefniant siambr Yannotta ar gyfer saith offerynnwr, gyda chast o bump dan arweiniad Cyfarwyddwr Cerdd OCC o'r piano, mae'r opera'n llenwi hanner cyntaf y noson, gyda'r ail hanner yn dathlu opera a theatr gerddorol Americanaidd, gyda thema Y Freuddwyd Americanaidd, yn cynnwys yr holl berfformwyr. https://www.midwalesopera.co.uk/cy/productions/trouble-in-tahiti/ [https://www.midwalesopera.co.uk/productions/cy/trouble-in-tahiti/] Music and Libretto: Leonard Bernstein Chamber Arrangement by Bernard Yannotta Music Director: Jonathan Lyness Director/Designer: Richard Studer Bernstein's one act opera is an exquisite dissection of the great American Dream, through the eyes of Sam and Dinah in their 1950's Pastel house and white picket fence marriage. A Jazz 'scat' trio provides a running commentary as the couple avoid the realities of their relationship. For Sam it's gym buddies and work, for Dinah trips to her therapist and the glorious technicolour escapism of Hollywood - can their 'dream marriage' survive? Performed in Yannottas chamber arrangement for seven instrumentalists, with a cast of five led by MWOs Music Director from the piano, the opera forms the first half of the evening, with the second half cabaret concert The American Dream, celebrating American opera and musical theatre and featuring all the performers. https://www.midwalesopera.co.uk/productions/trouble-in-tahiti/
