Mickey Mouse Faces Music as Glass Inspired by Disney
The next opera by Philip Glass will be based on the life of Walt Disney. It's scheduled to debut at Madrid's Teatro Real in 2012.
Glass is no stranger to successful stage works based on historical figures such as Einstein and Mohandas Gandhi. Glass once quipped that he's written so many operas that he's lost count.
The new Disney opera will explore what Glass calls "a parallel universe which everyone knows about, even though it doesn't exist."
It would be nice to have Phillip Glass' publicist and access to his parallel universe.
