John Adams's first opera Nixon In China, produced by Peter Sellars, with libretto by Alice Goodman, about the visit of Richard Nixon to China in 1972, where he met with Mao Zedong and other Chinese officials.
Act I Opening -
The opera begins at Beijing Airport. As the soldiers wait, an airplane taxis and lands on the stage - the Nixons and Henry Kissinger disembark and are greeted by Chou Enlai. As Nixon is introduced to various Chinese officials by Chou, he sings of his hopes and fears for his historic visit.

This opera does seem a little bit unusual at some parts, but the only reason I'm watching it is because it has a really awesome song in it called "The People are the Heroes Now"

Would be nice if they made a decent movie about Nixon in China. Nothing too flashy or extravagant,.....maybe something similar to "Frost/Nixion" (2008).

Probably rests his head on a pillow and closes his eyes. How do you normally sleep at night?
