Einstein on the Beach

Album by Philip Glass & Philip Glass Ensemble & Michael Riesman & Robert Wilson

Einstein on the Beach is an opera by American composer Philip Glass, first performed in 1976. The work exemplifies musical minimalism through long, repetitive structures, cycling rhythmic patterns and gradual process-based changes, employing extended vocal techniques and a non-narrative, episodic form that influenced Glass's subsequent output and the course of contemporary experimental opera.
