Alice Goodman’s poetic, intensely
original libretto is based on
Richard and Pat Nixon’s historic
three-day visit to China in 1972.
Protagonists viewed initially as
transcendent iconic figures are
not so much satirised as seen for
what they are. The score pounds
away eclectically with nods to
Broadway and rock, Minimalism and Igor Stravinsky,
but there’s no mistaking the identity of the composer,
who joins us tonight, nor the colour and brilliance of
one of the iconic works of our time.
