The Deutsche Oper Berlin presents, in the Großes Haus, John Adams's opera in three acts about Richard Nixon's 1972 state visit to China, with a libretto by Alice Goodman. The music-theatre collective Hauen und Stechen focuses on the propaganda side of the summit and presents the minimalist opera like a satirically exaggerated TV documentary. Daniel Carter conducts.
It is sung in English with German and English surtitles. The performance runs 3 hours 30 minutes with one interval after about 100 minutes and is for ages 16 and up. An introduction takes place 45 minutes before each performance in the right-hand Rang foyer.
