Glass, P: Monsters of Grace

Philip Glass/Robert Wilson music theatre work

Premiere recording of an unusual music theatre piece, “a digital opera in three dimensions for ensemble and soloists” that used animated visuals designed by Robert Wilson (viewed by the audience through 3-D glasses) and a transcendent score by Philip Glass which marries exotic sounds to the 13th century Sufi mystic poet Jelaluddin Rumi’s meditations on the range of human experience.
