Watch "Candide" by Leonard Bernstein inspired on the work by Voltaire.
The satirical operetta Candide, wrote by Voltaire in 1759, describes the absurdity of this world through the adventures of the young Candide. According to his teacher Pangloss, we are living in the best of all possible worlds.
Candide will experience war, plagues and natural disasters, but, despite everything, he will remain an incorrigible optimist.
