Reply to comment by sandiegoopera in I'm Yves Abel, Principal Conductor of the San Diego Opera. I’ve conducted all over the globe, and even got to work with the great Leonard Bernstein while in training. AMA! by sandiegoopera

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.
