The 1999 Royal National Version

Since it's successful 1973 Broadway revival, Candide has had many productions in both theatres and opera houses. The 1973 revival brought new audiences to this masterpiece in an intimate, quickly paced one-act version with the emphasis on comedy and characterization. In subsequent productions, elements of the original 1953 version, along with songs that had been dropped, rewritten or re-conceived were added or altered in an effort to create "the best of all possible" Candides.
