  • ROBERT WILSON / PHILIP GLASS LANDMARK EINSTEIN on the BEACH BEGINS YEARLONG INTERNATIONAL TOUR First Fully Staged Production in 20 Years of the Rarely Performed Work
    For Immediate Release March 13, 2012 ROBERT WILSON / PHILIP GLASS LANDMARK EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH BEGINS YEARLONG INTERNATIONAL TOUR First Fully Staged Production in 20 Years of the Rarely Performed Work Einstein on the Beach 2012-13 trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ5hTfDzU9A&feature=player_embedded#! The Robert Wilson/Philip Glass collaboration Einstein on the Beach, An Opera in Four Acts is widely recognized as one of the greatest artistic achievements of the 20th century. Although every performance of the work has attracted a sold-out audience, and the music has been recorded and released, few people have actually experienced Einstein live. An entirely new generation—and numerous cities where the work has never been presented—will have the opportunity during the 2012-2013 international tour. The revival, helmed by Wilson and Glass along with choreographer Lucinda Childs, marks the first full production in 20 years. Aside from New York, Einstein on the Beach has never been seen in any of the cities currently on the tour, which comprises nine stops on four continents. • Opéra et Orchestre National de Montpellier Languedoc-Roussillon presents the world premiere at the Opera Berlioz Le Corum March 16—18, 2012. • Fondazione I TEATRI di Reggio Emilia in collaboration with Change Performing Arts will present performances on March 24 & 25 at Teatro Valli. • From May 4—13, 2012, the Barbican will present the first-ever UK performances of the work in conjunction with the Cultural Olympiad and London 2012 Festival. • The North American premiere, June 8—10, 2012 at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, as part of the Luminato, Toronto Festival of Arts and Creativity, represents the first presentation in Canada.

  • Opera SAN JOSÉ
    2018 | 2019 SEASON Opera SAN JOSÉ Celebrating 35 YEARS of Excellence Message from General Director Larry Hancock I suspect that it is impossible to say in few words what Melville’s Moby- Dick is about. It seems to be about everything. It may be doubtful that anyone can say precisely what any great work of literature is about. In Search of Lost Time, War and Peace, Middlemarch, Great Expectations, Moby-Dick…The words string along, leading into deeper knowledge page after page, clearer understanding character by character, so that after 800 pages of, say, Middlemarch, you put the book down and know…what? That humanity is…what? That life is lived… how? By whom? But you know you’ve learned something. The search for a more concise meaning is a bit easier after epic literature has been put in the crucible of opera and rendered. Opera, using music, with its layered emotions, penetrates instantaneously on many levels and at once. The sounding of a single chord can convey a whole page of description. Composer Jake Heggie and librettist Gene Scheer have distilled Melville’s epic from 24 hours and 38 minutes (the duration of the audiobook) to three hours of music. Anything that is not essential to the narrative, and a great portion of Melville’s revolutionary novel is not narrative, has been set aside, and as a stage doesn’t provide scene changes by beginning new paragraphs, some words that were spoken in different times and other places have been moved into the here and now, and realizations in the novel that emerge only after long introspective monologues are expressed in a flash, expanded in meaning by an entire orchestra.
