Synopsis

Composer John Adams authored this distinctly modern opera, commissioned and mounted by The San Francisco Opera in conjunction with De Nederlandse Opera and The Lyric Opera of Chicago, and helmed for the stage by the controversial Peter Sellars. Written and performed entirely in English, it weaves the tale of scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and the detonation of the first atomic bomb outside of Los Alamos, New Mexico. Gerald Finley stars as Oppenheimer; Jessica Rivera as his wife, Kitty; and Eric Owens as General Leslie Groves. Those with strong stomachs should be forewarned that the program incorporates graphic images of wartime carnage. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars John Adams at his finest, Jun 8 2009

By	DAVID MCKEE "David McKee" (Toronto ON Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent production of an outstanding opera. I have always beeen a great admirer of John Adams and this is yet another example of his genius. I saw the broadcast version from the Metropolitan Opera and had trouble with it. Seeing this version tells me is was the produciton not the opera. The differences are subtle, but this is by far the better one. Adams' vision is focused much more clearly, for example the role of Oppenheimer's spouse anad the native women finally makes sense. The entire opera is a deeply moving and awe-inspiring achievement. Excellent in every sense.
