At the Opéra de Massy and the Philharmonie de Paris, David Stern joins forces with stage director Elsa Rooke to bring Leonard Bernstein’s music to life in a unique double bill entitled the Anatomy of Love: the biting 1951 satirical opera Trouble in Tahiti and the colorful 1988 Arias and Barcarolles. Together, Stern’s incisive musical direction and Rooke’s theatrical vision reveal unexpected facets of Bernstein’s artistry—by turns ironic, intimate, and deeply human.
