DESCRIPTION:Welsh National Opera – Candide at New THeatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Welsh National Opera – Candide\n\n\n\nLeonard Bernstein’s Candide is a supercharged wild ride in which 18th-century France crashes into 20th-century post-war America. \n\n\n\nTake a seat and strap in tight for a mind-boggling journey that hurtles through a fantastical world of chaos – from castles in the Alps to skyscrapers in Montevideo\, from earthquakes in Lisbon to the Amazonian jungles beyond the Andes.  \n\n\n\nWith societies riven by inequality and families displaced by war today\, the story remains as relevant now as when it was first written in 1759. \n\n\n\nFrom Bernstein’s compositional brilliance to the razor wit of Dorothy Parker\, Candide is an ebullient romp that pulls together the best of Broadway\, the champagne froth of operetta and the timeless satire of Voltaire’s original novella.  \n\n\n\nWNO’s new production welcomes an award-winning team\, who won the National French Critics’ award in 2022 for their production of The Snow Queen\, and brings this zany\, imaginative world to life and up to date with music\, animation\, dance and political bite. \n\n\n\nSung in English \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease see important ticketing information below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicketing information\n\n\n\nPrices: From £13.00 \n\n\n\nTickets are subject to a transaction fee \n\n\n\nWarning: Contains anachronistic themes and language that some people may find upsetting \n\n\n\nRunning time: TBC \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout New Theatre Oxford\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\nThere has been a theatre on George Street for almost 170 years.
