About
An excerpt of the opera Einstein on the Beach by Philip Glass and Robert Wilson, performed by the Einstein-Ensemble, specially composed with students of the Haute Ecole de Musique de Genève - HEM for the performance at the Grand Théâtre de Genève.
Einstein on the Beach is a masterclass in how to create a work on Einstein's theory of relativity without being a physicist, besides, what kind of physicist would want to do that? The flow of the music forms the base for a meditation on the passing of time, spaces and events. The opera is considered to be one of the most important musical creations of the twentieth century.
- Set-up: performance with reddish lights and only keyboard connected, 4 singers and 1 violinist - no mic - Video without SOUND.
