Created as a portrait of America from the 1950s through the 1980s,\u00a0Hydrogen Jukebox<\/em>\u00a0was composed after a chance meeting between composer, Philip Glass, and Beat poet, Allen Ginsberg. Through Glass\u2019 minimalist style, and Ginsberg\u2019s poetry on topics ranging from the anti-war movement to the environment, the opera touches on many of America\u2019s enduring social issues.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
