  <title>The Perfect American on 13 Jun 2013</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: London Coliseum

Based on Peter Stephan Jungk’s novel and written by Philip Glass, one of the world’s most important composers, The Perfect American imagines the final years of Walt Disney’s life, including mythical imaginings of Abraham Lincoln and Andy Warhol. This latest opera from Glass, his 24th, was commissioned by ENO and Teatro Real Madrid to mark his 75th birthday.

British theatre director Phelim McDermott returns following his spectacular production of Satyagraha for ENO and the Metropolitan Opera, New York, described as ‘transfixing musically and visually’ (The Guardian). The design is by leading international designer Dan Potra, whose work on the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games ceremony was widely acclaimed.

Fresh from his exceptional performance as Mephistopheles in Terry Gilliam’s 2011 Damnation of Faust, acclaimed British baritone Christopher Purves is Walt Disney, while soprano Janis Kelly creates the role of Disney’s studio nurse and confidante.]]></description>

  <title>Prom 25: Frank Zappa - The Adventures Of Greggery Peccary on 31 Jul 2013</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Royal Albert Hall

Trend-mongers, philosophers and hunchmen. A car-chase, a love-in and a replica mahogany desk. A coughing mountain, a choir of stenographers and an exceptional swine-pig called Greggery.

Nicholas Collon and the Aurora Orchestra give the first Proms performance of Frank Zappa's high-energy counter-culture satire The Adventures of Greggery Peccary.

An arrangement of a zany Nancarrow study and the UK premiere of Philip Glass's 10th Symphony complete a far-out late-night happening from one of Britain's most vivacious young orchestras.

  <title>La Belle et la B&#xEA;te on 10 Aug 2013</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Playhouse

Minimalist composer Philip Glass’s magical reimagining of Jean Cocteau’s 1946 La Belle et la Bête combines the classic black and white film with live performance in asophisticated work that is at once a touching fairy tale and a meditation on creativity.
Removing the film’s original dialogue track and score by Georges Auric, Glass replaces them with his own scintillating music, played live by the Philip Glass Ensemble, the dialogue sung by vocalists synchonised live with the screen.

The result boldly harnesses movie technology to create a stunning synthesis of opera and film, as Cocteau’s bewitching storytelling is matched by some of Glass’s most evocative music in an unforgettable tale of love triumphing over greed.]]></description>

  <title>The Poet Speaks on 13 Aug 2013</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Playhouse

Two of the pillars of contemporary music come together for an intimate evening of poetry, music and song in tribute to their friend, the great Beat Generation poet Allen Ginsberg.

Punk poet and provocateur Patti Smith performs both her own and Ginsberg’s poetry, with accompaniment and solo pieces for piano from founding father of minimalism Philip Glass.
Renowned as one of the originators of the Beat movement, Ginsberg tirelessly championed the work of his friends Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs. His raw, visceral poems, including Howl, Kaddish and Wichita Vortex Sutra, range from forceful fury to profound spirituality.

As a backdrop to the evening’s event, Smith and Glass have curated a collage of images, paintings and photographs, projected live on stage, that reveals the richness of Ginsberg’s achievements.]]></description>

  <title>Philip Glass Ensemble: Retrospektiivi on 21 Aug 2013</title>
  <description><![CDATA[Location: Savoy-teatteri

Minimalismin kantaisää juhlitaan fokus-sarjalla. Philip Glass Ensemblen retrospektiivisen konsertin lisäksi intiimi pianokonsertti ja kulttielokuva Koyaanisqatsin kinokonsertti johdattelevat aikamme musiikkimaisemaan vahvasti vaikuttaneen säveltäjän ilmaisuvoimaiseen tuotantoon.

Philip Glassin sävellysten runsaudensarvesta löytyvät niin sinfoniat, kamarimusiikkiteokset ja oopperat kuin elokuva-, pop- ja teatterimusiikkikin. Glassilla on taito juottaa sähköistä vahvistusta tarvitsevat soittimet saumattomasti kiinni klassisen musiikin akustiikkaan. Tunnusomaista on hypnoottinen toisto, jonka juuret löytyvät Intian ja Indonesian perinteistä.

Glassin kuulijaystävällinen kokeellisuus on innoittanut muusikoita monessa polvessa vanhemman kaartin Brian Enosta ja David Bowiesta nuorempiin Beckiin, Sufjan Stevensiin ja Sigur Rósiin. Myös konemusiikki on paljosta velkaa Glassin pulssiminimalismille.

Glass löi itsensä läpi vuonna 1976 radikaalin pelkistetyllä Einstein on the Beach –oopperalla ja kasvatti 1980-luvulla mainettaan amerikkalaisen, ilmavan minimalismin pioneerina. Sittemmin hän on laajentanut ilmaisuasteikkoaan lukuisiin eri suuntiin. Viime vuonna 75-vuotisjuhlaansa viettänyt taiteilija löytää tietoisen niukkojen aineksien takaa kokonaisen maailmankaikkeuden.

Philip Glass Ensemblen konsertti kertaa pitkän uran merkkipaaluja.
