Post-Oppenheimer Opera recommendation
Post Body

For anyone who wants more Oppenheimer related material, you can watch an Opera about Oppenheimer called "Doctor Atomic" by the American composer John Adams (not the President, obviously) It is basically an operatic depiction of the hours leading up to the Trinity test with one additional scene between Oppenheimer and his wife. It's a very cool opera. The highlight is the end of act one where Oppenheimer sings the Donne poem that inspired the name of the test.

The Metropolitan Opera is streaming for free their performance from 2008 this week. Definitely recommended. John Adams's music is modern but cool and not too abstract. It is very similar to music in The Matrix since the composer for that movie was heavily inspired by Adams's work.

I don't have an exact link but go to the met website (metopera.org) and you should be able to find it.
