Production PhotosA Look at the Philadelphia Orchestra's Candide, Narrated by Bradley Cooper and Carey MulliganThe Orchestra’s symphonic staging of the Leonard Bernstein operetta played June 20–22 at the Kimmel Center for Performing Arts.
The Tony and Oscar nominees joined a company that includes opera vets Alek Shrader in the title role, Erin Morley as Cunegonde, and Denyce Graves as The Old Lady.
The production, directed by Kevin Newbury and conducted by Philadelphia Orchestra and Metropolitan Opera Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin, set the operetta in the early 1990s, drawing inspiration from such titles as Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The scholarly Candide is now a bookish nerd, and Cunegonde is head cheerleader.
