When they premiered Einstein on the Beach in Avignon in 1976, Philip Glass, Bob Wilson and Lucinda Childs made a monumental splash in the operatic pond, introducing a work nothing short of revolutionary, yet also returning to the genre’s roots in mythology.

Production Theater Basel (Basel) in collaboration with the Berliner Festspiele (Berlin) and the Wiener Festwochen (Vienna).
