Long Beach Opera to Present Nixon in China |
|
|
|
The Long Beach Opera will present Nixon in China at the Terrace Theater/Long Beach Performing Arts Center Saturday, March 20 at 8PM and Sunday, March 28 at 4PM.
John Adams’ Nixon in China is considered a landmark of contemporary opera. The world changed with President Nixon’s 1972 visit to China, and the walls between East and West began to crumble. In this work, a profound historical event has become a mesmerizing drama filled with riveting music, striking choruses, and stunning ballets. The political and private lives of Richard Nixon, Chairman Mao, Henry Kissinger, and Pat Nixon set the stage for this masterpiece by Adams, who is recognized as the most frequently performed living American composer of orchestral music.
"John Adams brought contemporary history to the opera house with this riveting music-theatre work," said Dan Spellens, Director of Theaters & Entertainment for the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center. "We are very pleased to welcome this Long Beach Opera production to the Terrace Theater," he concluded.
