Nixon in China

Age Suitability: None Specified

The Vancouver Opera proudly presents the Canadian premiere of John Adams’ Nixon in China. In 1972, Richard Nixon and Chairman Mao Tse-tung shook hands and changed the course of human events. West and East looked into each other’s eyes and discovered a vast mystery of differences and desires. Heny Kissinger, Chou En-lai, Pat Nixon and Madame Mao all play pivotal roles in this fascinating drama of psychology and global politics. John Adam’s richly textured score pulses with rhythm and Alic Hoffman’s literate libretto resonates with poetry. Nixon in China is irresistible and gripping from beginning to end. Presented with Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.
