Bernstein 101: West Side Story
Tickets at Ravinia.org
Join us for a pre-concert discussion with Dean Richards, entertainment critic for WGN TV morning news and 720AM WGN radio
Complete film shown on Pavilion and lawn video screens
Leonard Bernstein was working on the music for his two best-loved stage works, West Side Story and Candide, around the same time—fortuitously, as it would turn out. Before each show hit the Broadway stage in the mid-1950s, their respective songs celebrating the wedded bliss of the central characters were swapped. The stark difference of ideals in “Oh, Happy We” better lent itself to the rapier wit of Candide, while “One Hand, One Heart” forecast the wrenching tragedy awaiting Tony and Maria in West Side Story.
