On January 16-18, AOT presents Hydrogen Jukebox (1990), a chamber opera featuring the music of Philip Glass and the poetry of Allen Ginsberg. Drawing upon Ginsberg's poetry, this music/theater piece is a portrait of America during the second half of the 20th century. Its content ranges from the highly personal poems of Ginsberg to his reflections on social issues: the anti-war movement, the sexual revolution, drugs, eastern philosophy, and environmental awareness. The six vocal parts represent six archetypal American characters: a waitress, a policeman, a businessman, a cheerleader, a priest, and a mechanic. |
