Description

An excerpt of the opera Einstein on the Beach by Philip Glass and Robert Wilson, performed by the Grand Théâtre de Genève. Einstein on the Beach is a masterclass in how to create a work on Einstein's theory of relativity without being a physicist, besides, what kind of physicist would want to do that? The flow of the music forms the base for a meditation on the passing of time, spaces and events. The opera is considered to be one of the most important musical creations of the twentieth century.
(Set-up: instruments and props for opera)
