Candide at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion

Tony- and Emmy-award winning actor Kelsey Grammer (Frasier, Broadway's The Color Purple) joins Broadway star Christine Ebersole (star of War Paint and a two-time Tony winner for Grey Gardens and 42nd Street) in a new production of Leonard Bernstein's Candide. This LA Opera premiere honors the centenary of Bernstein, a true American legend best known for Broadway musicals like West Side Story and On the Town. The story of a madcap odyssey around the world adapted from Voltaire's famed novel, the naïve titular hero journeys from rapture to ruin to redemption. Experience this exuberant opera, featuring such memorable tunes as "Glitter and Be Gay" and "Make Our Garden Grow" when Candide comes to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles.
