Trouble in Tahiti DVD now available!. Tom Cairn's cinematic film, made in 2001, presents Bernstein's short opera set in 1950s America with dramatic direction and wonderful sets. Leonard Bernstein's satire on American suburban married life stars Stephanie Novacek as Dinah and Karl Daymond as Sam facing a serious marital breakdown, from which the latest movie release -- Trouble in Tahiti seems the only escape. Inspired by jazz and American musical comedy, the score is a path-breaking fusion of lyric art with popular entertainment.

A WHITE HOUSE CANTATA is the concert adaptation of the Bernstein / Lerner failed musical 1600 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. The musical was never recorded so DG’s recording of A WHITE HOUSE CANTATA represents the first time the music and lyrics will be available on CD. This performance features the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Voices conducted by Kent Nagano. Featured soloists are Thomas Hampson in multi-presidental roles and June Anderson as the First Ladies. Barbara Hendricks performs the role of Seena and Kenneth Tarver performs the role of Lud, a White House servant and Seena's husband. Warren Hoge in The New York Times wrote after the London premiere of this work, "...the result is an exuberant work."
