Cunegonde's aria “Glitter and Be Gay” from Leonard Bernstein's operetta Candide is a performance of a performance, in which the character describes how she has been “forced to bend my soul to a sordid role” being captured by the Grand Inquisitor and Don Issachar. The character switches back and forth between her disgust at her situation and her temptation at the jewelry, furs and champagne that come with her new status.
