Einstein on the Beach

Nearby Einstein on the Beach

This ground breaking opera marathon is gracing the stage once more, and with its rarity will be happily welcomed to the Barbican. Boosting director Robert Wilson and composer Philip Glass to international acclaim in 1976, Einstein on the Beach is an opera in Four Acts that spreads across an impressive five hours. The piece breaks the traditional conventions as instead of an orchestral arrangement Glass instead chose to compose the work for the synthesisers, woodwinds and voices of the Philip Glass Ensemble. The piece doesn't have a set narrative; it instead works using powerful recurrent images combined with abstract dance sequences and interconnected with short play intervals.About Barbican Theatre
