  Passage: Candide is an operetta with music composed by Leonard Bernstein, based on the 1759 novella of the same name by Voltaire.  The operetta was first performed in 1956 with a libretto by Lillian Hellman; but since 1974 it has been generally performed with a book by Hugh Wheeler which is more faithful to Voltaire's novel.  The primary lyricist was the poet Richard Wilbur.  Other contributors to the text were John Latouche, Dorothy Parker, Lillian Hellman, Stephen Sondheim, John Mauceri, John Wells, and Bernstein himself.  Maurice Peress and Hershy Kay contributed orchestrations.  Although unsuccessful at its premiere, "Candide" has now overcome the unenthusiastic reaction of early audiences and critics and achieved enormous popularity.  It is very popular among major music schools as a student show because of the quality of its music and the opportunities it offers to student singers.
  Title: Candide
  Passage: Candide, ou l'Optimisme, ( ; French: ] ) is a French satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment.  The novella has been widely translated, with English versions titled Candide: or, All for the Best (1759); Candide: or, The Optimist (1762); and Candide: or, Optimism (1947).  It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply "optimism") by his mentor, Professor Pangloss.  The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world.  Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, "all is for the best" in the "best of all possible worlds".
