Marin AlsopAbout
Alice Goodman’s epic libretto and John Adams’ distinctive music weave together a colourful fabric of actual events from President Nixon’s historic visit to the People’s Republic of China with intimate examinations of the opera’s real life characters.
The spectacle, drama, humour and pathos of this masterpiece remain as compelling today as when the opera was premièred in 1987.

“[The] performance, brilliantly conducted by Marin Alsop and delivered by a strong cast led by baritone Robert Orth in the title role… Alsop, a proven master of Adams’ style both early and late, led a dynamic performance... Conducting the Colorado Symphony, she shepherded her forces nimbly.” - San Francisco Chronicle, concert review
