专辑简介
这部独幕歌剧是伯恩斯坦早年的作品，写于1952年。那时伯恩斯坦风头正劲，作为指挥已誉满全球，作为作曲家也在流行乐界和古典乐界都取得不小的成就，虽然还未作出像《西区故事》这样经久不衰的音乐剧。
伯恩斯坦称《塔希提的麻烦》是一部“轻量级作品”，由流行曲调激发的灵感。作品一开始就是一首爵士三重唱，一听就是四五十年代的美国电台小调。这些爵士三重唱贯穿了整部作品，但却丝毫没有影响整部歌剧的严肃性。其实歌剧的主题是相当贴近生活的质疑：对物质生活的质疑，往大处说也是对“美国梦”的质疑。
歌剧讲述一对普通夫妇（Sam和Dinah）之间的摩擦、争吵、互不信任以及最后几乎无奈的和解。在轻松的电台小调之后，关于孩子的激烈争吵立即展开、继而发展到关于外遇的猜疑。伯恩斯坦的音乐很有异国情调，听来非常紧张，又有一种痛苦感；而他的剧本却写得更好：非常简练地表达出争吵的内容和两人的性格。
