Candide / 2006

Candide is an operetta with music composed by Leonard Bernstein, based on the 1759 novella of the same name by Voltaire. In 2006, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the creation of Candide, the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris produced a new production under the direction of Robert Carsen. The production transforms the proscenium into a giant 1950s-era TV set, and has Voltaire, appearing as the narrator, changing channels between certain scenes. Carsen sets the action in a 1950s/1960s world, with an American slant commenting on contemporary world politics. This production was filmed and broadcast on Arte.

Candide / 2018

When young Candide's marriage offer to a baron's daughter backfires, the naïve student of optimism is hurled into an eye-opening journey around the globe, discovering the horrors of existence at every step. Turning Voltaire’s Candide, a stinging blast against tyranny and feigned moralising, into toe-wiggling musical theatre is a crazy idea. Bernstein revised his operetta countless times before settling on the final version. The Grange Festival’s 2018 semi-staged production commemorates the composer’s 100th birthday.

Candidato a sorpresa / 20125.8123 voti

Il volgare e ignorante deputato Cam Brady è sicuro che otterrà l'ennesima conferma del suo mandato, nonostante una gaffe irrimediabile, ma non ha fatto i conti con lo strapotere del capitale. I miliardari fratelli Motch, infatti, decisi ad arricchirsi vendendo mezza Carolina del Nord ai cinesi, hanno bisogno di un burattino meno compromesso di Brady da inviare a Washington perché faccia il loro gioco e lo individuano nell'ingenuo Marty Huggins, il figlio idealista di un loro ricco amico. La battaglia tra i due candidati al seggio si tramuta in men che non si dica in una gara spietata a far sfigurare l'avversario nel peggior modo possibile. E più i colpi inferti sono bassi, più aumenta il gradimento nei sondaggi del candidato a cui è riuscito il tiro meschino. Un massacro pubblico che investe immancabilmente la sfera privata dei due protagonisti.

Charming and innocent, Candide is vigorously chased away by the Baron, for his close encounters with the pretty Cunégonde. World War II breaks out, and when he is drafted and taken prisoner, he is forced to take German nationality and ends up guarding the camp where he was imprisoned. He crossed into Switzerland, but as he had no bank account, he was incarcerated for eight days for trespassing. Hunted by the Gestapo, he kills two men to free Cunégonde, who has finally been found. They both flee to Argentina, and their world tour begins. In Paris, Moscow, New York, Borneo and Alexandria. They try to follow Dr. Pangloss' optimistic rule of life. Tossed about, separated, they find themselves grown old and wiser, thinking only of cultivating their garden on the shores of the Mediterranean.

Un avvocato californiano viene convinto a candidarsi al Senato per i Democratici. Apparentemente non ha speranza contro un avversario pregiudicato e grande navigatore della politica.
