The week before Doctor Atomic opens at the Metropolitan Opera, composer John Adams reflects on the relationship between words and music in a conversation with Ara Guzelimian, dean of the Juilliard School. Throughout his career, Adams has drawn on literary sources ranging from the Bible to Jack Kerouac; Doctor Atomic incorporates Baudelaire, the Bhagavad Gita and declassified documents from the Manhattan Project. His new memoir is Hallelujah Junction: Composing an American Life. The evening featured musical illustrations by mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke, baritone Jordan Shanahan and pianist Linda Hall.

Ara: shut the hell up. He cuts Adams off so many times. Ridiculous. Let the genius speak. Why else is he there? You're lucky to have him on your podium. Sit back, and shut up.

John Adams is a fine composer writing quality accessible opera today. What, though, is the point of the other bloke here? Just another talker living off creative people.
