An Opera in Four Acts

Robert Wilson and Philip Glass’ landmark collaboration. Blending everything from music and poetry to abstract dance, Einstein on the Beach weaves a dreamlike experience that, like any classical sonata or symphony, is based on the idea of theme and variation. But Einstein on the Beach can also be seen as distinctly, dramatically American. Structured in four interconnected acts and divided by a series of scenes, Einstein on the Beach has no traditional intermissions. Instead, the audience is invited to enter and exit at liberty during the performance.
