John Adams: Doctor Atomic [Blu-ray]

The longing to overcome human boundaries led the physicist
J. Robert Oppenheimer to begin an experiment that formed a
threat to the whole of humanity, and whose scientific results
still do today. The question of the moral implications of the
atomic bomb is raised in John Adams' opera, just as much as
that of the influence on the private lives of the main
characters. Doctor Atomic is the fifth work to result from
almost twenty years of collaboration between the American
composer and his fellow American director and Erasmus
Prize-winner Peter Sellars.
