John Adams: Doctor Atomic [Blu-ray]

• The disk DOES NOT have English audio and subtitles.

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