PREMIERE:
July 25, 1976 by the PGE at the Festival d'Avignon
NOTES:
First in a Glass Trilogy of operas about men who changed the world through
the power of their ideas, "Einstein"'s sub-text is science. The
opera is non-narrative in form, and the producer has two options: to reproduce
the original Robert Wilson production (which exists on videotape), or to
create a new series of stage and dance pictures based on themes relating
to the life of Albert Einstein.
