Einstein on the Beach – a timeless revolution in sound and movement

Einstein on the Beach written by Philip Glass and Robert Wilson in 1976, was a radical break with the idea of opera. Rather than a biography of Albert Einstein, it is a hypnotic experience of time, voice and rhythm. In this concert version, Ictus and Collegium Vocale Gent bring the score to life with Moor Mother as a contemporary narrator.
