Nixon in China - John Adams (1947 - ). Feb. 5, 9, 11, 13, 19, 22, 24, 26, 2011. Sung in English with English SURTITLES.
James Robinson's production of John Adams' seminal work.

Richard Nixon's historic five-day visit to China in 1972 was a media phenomenon viewed simultaneously by millions on their television sets at home. John Adams' Nixon in China intertwines this grand, public spectacle with moments of quiet, private reflection, transforming everyday events into a work of art with universal appeal and significance.

Co-production of Opera Theatre of St. Louis, Chicago Opera Theatre, Opera Colorado, Houston Grand Opera, Minnesota Opera and Portland Opera.
