Widely credited as one of the greatest artistic achievements of the XXth century, Einstein on the Beach launched its creators, Robert Wilson and Philip Glass, to international success when it was first performed in 1976. This exceptional production brings it to an entirely new generation. Einstein on the Beach breaks all the rules of conventional opera, following a non-narrative, albeit rigorous structure, with a choreography by Lucinda Childs.
