John Adams's Nixon in China from the Op茅ra Bastille in Paris, starring Thomas Hampson and Ren茅e Fleming as Richard and Pat Nixon, conducted by Gustavo Dudamel.
Inspired by US President Richard Nixon's visit to the People's Republic of China in 1972, John Adams's opera with concept by Peter Sellars and libretto by Alice Goodman is less a political drama than an exploration of the different world-views of two peoples, Chinese and American.
This production contains some very strong language that some listeners may find offensive.
Presented by Kate Molleson in conversation with Jonathan Cross.
