The Photographer

Album by Philip Glass

"The Photographer" by Philip Glass is a three-part chamber opera that combines minimalist music with a narrative inspired by the life of 19th-century photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The work integrates spoken text, instrumental music, and vocal elements to explore themes of motion and the intersection of art and science.
First released: 1983
