PHILIP GLASS – THE VOYAGE
Opera in three acts with prologue and epilogue

\n \"\ud83d\udd38\"
\n<\/span> Commissioned by the Metropolitan Opera in 1992.

\n \"\ud83d\udd38\"
\n<\/span> Lithuanian premiere – Klaip\u0117da State Music Theatre (November 2023)<\/div>\n
After a memorable premiere, we invite you to re-experience the opera The Voyage by Philip Glass, one of the most famous composers of the 20th century – a huge, visually compelling work about humanity’s desire to explore and discover. <\/div>\n
\"\ud83e\udded\"<\/span> The action stretches across time and space:<\/div>\n
Prologue: a scientist inspired by Stephen Hawking explores the cosmos from a wheelchair – a journey that takes place with his mind, not his body.<\/div>\n
Act I: Aliens flee a black hole and land on a primordial Earth, where they encounter animalistic indigenous people.<\/div>\n
Act II: Columbus prepares for his journey to the West, with a farewell ceremony at the Spanish Palace. Later, the nightmares and visions of his last expedition. <\/div>\n
Act III: The society of the future embarks on another mission – to new lands, to new meanings of being.<\/div>\n
Epilogue: a dying Columbus reflects on the cost of his actions – colonisation, destroyed civilisations.<\/div>\n
\"\ud83c\udfbc\"<\/span> The music has the minimalist pulse, repetition structures and meditative tension of Philip Glass.

\n \"\ud83c\udfad\"
\n<\/span> Directed by Italian filmmaker Chiara Osella

\n \"\ud83c\udf10\"
\n<\/span> Performed in English, Spanish and Latin (with Lithuanian subtitles)<\/div>\n
“The Journey is an opera about all of us: wanderers, seekers, dreamers. About journeys through history, across continents, through the human interior. Don’t miss this exceptional musical event! <\/div>\n
