Announcement for the American Premiere of "Einstein on the Beach," 1976

Wilson, Robert and Glass, Philip. New York: Metropolitan Opera House, 1976.

6 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches. Thick card bifold. Light edge and exterior wear, creasing.

Einstein on the Beach premiered in America soon after its Avignon opening and a short European tour. The performance was quite the success according to Clive Barnes in the New York Times: "I have rarely heard a first‐night audience respond so vociferously at the Metropolitan Opera House as for this bizarre, occasionally boring, yet always intermittently beautiful theater piece."
