COMMUNITY REVIEWS

If you can't see it in person... this may be the best you can do submitted by tropology on August 27, 2018, 2:21pm I've long enjoyed the work of Phillip Glass, and this work in particular. This version was broadcast on PBS and was my first experience of this work. Ann Arbor was fortunate to be the preparing ground for the recent re-staging of Einstein on the Beach a few years back.
