"Trouble in Tahiti," a complete oneact opera by Leonard Bernstein '39, will be presented next year as part of a two hour show directed by Newt Wayland '62. Wayland's "Twen Waylin Band" will present some of Stan Kenton's compositions, in addition to providing music for the opera.
Wayland commented that Bernstein "employs a Greek-type chorus of three radio artists to relate--rather unfavorable--the antics of a suburban couple." He added that the piece was especially well adapted to his band, since it is "a combination of modern classical work, a Broadway show, and jazz rhythmic material."
