Drawing upon the Beat poetry of Allen Ginsberg, this music/theater piece by Philip Glass is a portrait of America that covers the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s, as seen by the composer and poet. Its content ranges from Ginsberg’s highly personal poems to his reflections on various social issues, including the anti-war movement, the sexual revolution, drugs, eastern philosophy, and environmental awareness. Delivered through six vocal parts representing archetypal American characters alongside a spoken word artist, this innovative chamber opera is as timely and relevant today as when it was premiered.
Featuring vocalists Felix Aguilar Tomlinson, Emily Cottam, Madison Holtze, David Nelson, Kristina Rodel, and Justin Spenner under the musical direction of Lara Bolton, with spoken word poet SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE.
