Prospecting for operatic gold: John Adams

David Karlin, 1st November

Adams's new opera Girls of the Golden West could not be more different from the (nearly) eponymous Puccini favourite. Adams talks to us about the Gold Rush, the opera and new music in general.

David Karlin, 21st November

Adams and Peter Sellars demand that the audience take a cold, hard look at the Gold Rush and the founding history of California.
