I love some of the premieres I’ve seen at the Metropolitan. Operas by Corigliano, Glass, Dun, Picker, Puts.

Favorite Glass opera? And would you have the fortitude to conduct something like Einstein? ;)

Asking the real questions. All opera is a little alien to me, but Einstein is so deliberately weird that I kinda like it and could maybe even grow to love it.

Seeing Einstein performed live was a life-changing experience. Progressed through perplexment, boredom, analysis, hypnotism, and eventually sheer ecstatic unity with the music. A very meditative and intense process.

Been a fan since i stumbled over ahknatan through the old Columbia music tape clubs. Mesmerizing music
