NIXON IN CHINAFULLY-STAGED OPERA
Los Angeles PhilharmonicJohn Adams, conductor Elkhanah Pulitzer, director Ryan McKinny, Nixon • Russell Thomas, Mao Joélle Harvey, Pat Nixon • Kathleen Kim, Madame MaoPeter Coleman-Wright, Kissingerto be announced, Chou En-Lai Lacey Jo Benter, Renée Rapier, secretaries Los Angeles Master Chorale Grant Gershon, artistic director
John Adams’ audacious first opera turned the music world on its head, creating a whole new genre, dubbed “CNN opera.” Unlike most operas written since, Nixon has entered the rarefied pantheon of the international repertoire. With Adams himself conducting and the acclaimed Elkhanah Pulitzer directing, this innovative production promises to be historic in its own right.

Having set himself the extraordinarily ambitious goal of a nativity oratorio for our time, John Adams succeeded spectacularly. With multilingual texts drawn from Scripture, medieval tracts and contemporary poetry, the work is powerful, provocative and, ultimately, deeply touching.

NIGHT AND DREAMS: A SCHUBERT & BECKETT RECITALIan Bostridge, tenor • Julia Bullock, sopranoYuval Sharon, director John Iacovelli, scenic design
You might be surprised that Samuel Beckett’s favorite composer was Franz Schubert. Placing their works in the same context – especially Beckett’s short plays and Schubert’s lieder – reveals how powerfully both evoke haunting images with great economy. In a theatrical evening structured like a recital, this performance reveals their common ground, unleashing the music’s drama and the drama’s music, exploring how the austerity of a Schubert song can illuminate the sonorous beauty of Beckett’s prose.
“Catastrophe,” “Ohio Impromptu,” “Rockaby,” “That Time,” “Come and Go,” and “Act Without Words II” are presented by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.
