John Adams
Operas[show]
v · d · e
Nixon in China is an opera in three acts by John Adams, with a libretto by
Alice Goodman. Adams' first opera, it was inspired by the 1972 visit to
China by US President Richard Nixon. The work premiered at the Houston Grand
Opera on October 22, 1987, in a production by Peter Sellars with
choreography by Mark Morris. When Sellars approached Adams with the idea for
the opera in 1985, Adams was initially reluctant, but eventually decided
that the work could be a study in how myths come to be, and accepted the
project. Goodman's libretto was the result of considerable research into
Nixon's visit, though she disregarded most sources published after 1972.
To create the sounds he sought, Adams augmented the orchestra with a large
saxophone section, additional percussion, and electronic synthesizers.
Although sometimes described as "minimalist", the score displays a variety
of musical styles, embracing minimalism after the manner of Philip Glass
alongside passages echoing 19th century composers such as Wagner and Johann
Strauss. With these ingredients, Adams mixes Stravinskian 20th century
neoclassicism, jazz references, and big band sounds reminiscent of Nixon's
youth in the 1930s. The combination of these elements varies frequently, to
reflect changes in the onstage action.
Following the 1987 premiere, the opera received mixed reviews; some critics
dismissed the work, predicting it would soon vanish. However, it has been
presented on many occasions since, in Europe as well as in North America,
and has been recorded twice. In 2011, the opera received its Metropolitan
Opera debut, a production based on the original sets, and in the same year
was given an abstract production in Toronto by the Canadian Opera Company.
Recent critical opinion has tended to recognize the work as a significant
and lasting contribution to American opera.
