In celebration of composer John Adams' 70th Birthday, the very vibrant and gracious maestro conducted his opera NIXON IN CHINA with the LA Philharmonic in March 2017!
Walt Disney Concert Hall was transformed with a set dominated by a giant television showing actual Nixon-era footage integrated with world class singers, direction by Elkhana Pulitzer and Choreography by Me. It was thrilling to stage a 20 minute ballet - a propaganda classic of the period inspired by the National Ballet of China's RED DETACHMENT OF WOMEN ballet.
