Doctor Atomic - a new opera at the London Coliseum

The English National Opera are soon to launch a new opera by John Adams based on the life of Robert J. Oppenheimer, one of the key figures in Jim Baggott's book.

This is what they say about it:

'John Adams — the composer of Nixon in China — turns his fertile imagination to another seminal moment in modern history: the creation of the atomic bomb. Doctor Atomic focuses on the moral dilemma surrounding J. Robert Oppeheimer’s apocalyptic invention, in a major new co-production between ENO and the Metropolitan Opera, New York.'
