About this event

Opera in 3 acts with prologue and epilogue in English, Spanish, Latin Libretto by David Henry Hwang based on story by Philip Glass First production: 1992 October 12 at the Metropolitan Opera in New York to mark the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America "Journey" is an allegory about the spirit of searching, about being without a place, where we find ourselves every time different cultures collide. What makes people travel, what are they looking for? Characters from the past and the future find different answers, including a scientist who travels across the universe in a wheelchair. Christopher Columbus personifies all those eternal wanderers, Ulysses, Noah, the Flying Dutchman, who were cursed or called to wander, alone in their ship, obsessed with ideas; his figure symbolically summarizes all travelers - those driven by the desire to explore, to ask questions."
