PHILIP 1.A55

LUCINDA CHILDS

* * *

Einstein on the Beach breaks all of the rules of conventional opera.

Instead of a traditional orchestral arrangement, Glass composed for the

synthesizers, woodwinds, and voices of the Philip Glass Ensemble. Non-

narrative in form, the work uses a series of powerful recurrent images

as its main dramatic device, shown in juxtaposition with abstract

dance sequences created by American choreographer Lucinda Childs.

"Einstein was like nothing I had ever encountered...Its very elusiveness
radiated richly, like some dark star whose effects we can only feel...

Einstein on the Beach, perhaps like Einstein himself, transcended time.

It's not (just) an artifact of its era, it's timeless...an experience to cherish

for a lifetime." (John Rockwell, The New York Times)
