Philip Glass' New Opera
It's called "Appomattox," and it delves into the final days of the bloody Civil War. "I've done this for 50 years, so I can hear a little bit. I can pretty much visualize the sounds. I've got a lot of colors in my box that I didn't have when I was a so-called minimalist. I got them the old-fashioned way - I went out and learned how to do it." San Francisco Chronicle 09/23/07
