Exploring the Opera Doctor Atomic, Part 3

The defining event of the 20th century, the development of the Atomic Bomb is the basis for this John Adams work. The symposium's distinguished panelists include composer John Adams; his librettist and director Peter Sellars; Gerald Finley, who portrays Robert Oppenheimer in the opera; and president of the Art Institute James Cuno. Join them and many others for a fascinating look at both the opera and the incidents and characters that inspired it. A once-in-a-lifetime convergence of music, history, and scholarship, this not-to-be-missed symposium is an historic event in its own right. Moderated by Wynne Delacoma and Peter Sagal.
