Nixon in China, by the American composer John Adams, is a key 20th-century work entering the Paris Opera's repertoire. The libretto, a political drama with humanist overtones, evokes Nixon's historic visit to meet Mao in 1972. Drawing on scholarly as well as repetitive music and American folklore, John Adams' score alternates between irony, melancholy and lyricism. Gustavo Dudamel conducts a cast led by Thomas Hampson and Renée Fleming, in Valentina Carrasco's production evoking "ping pong diplomacy".
