Bernstein’s Candide is travelling around Europe, with Robert Carsen’s controversial staging reaching English National Opera in June. Already seen at the Théâtre du Chatelet in Paris and at La Scala in Milan, Carsen’s vision recaptures the satirical bite of Voltaire’s original, with ‘West-Failure’ clearly situated in the White House and a parade of contemporary political leaders.
