In Bernstein’s short opera Trouble in Tahiti, popular songs, familiar advert tunes and a good dose of humour form the basis for an uncompromising criticism of American materialism.
This opera in one act is about the repressed marital problems of Sam and Dinah, a young couple living in an American suburb. In contrast to the ideal image of the American Dream, Sam and Dinah are desperately unhappy.
