Oliver Mears directs a new production of Bernstein’s operas in which one family’s fate becomes a microcosm for the troubled soul of America.

With catchy tunes and show-stopping numbers, Leonard Bernstein’s musical theatre credentials shine through in Trouble in Tahiti. A Quiet Place marks a radical, daring departure. Oliver Mears brings Leonard Bernstein’s rarely-performed operas to the Linbury Theatre in a new production with a small ensemble arrangement, ideally suited to an intimate theatre space. Conductor Nicholas Chalmers makes his debut with The Royal Opera in both works, which star Henry Neill and Wallis Giunta – also debuting – in Trouble in Tahiti, and Grant Doyle, Henry Neill and Rowan Pierce in A Quiet Place.
