NEW YORK (AP) — Philip Glass' "The Perfect American," imagining the final months of the life of Walt Disney, will have its world premiere at Madrid's Teatro Real on Jan. 22, 2013.
The opera was originally commissioned by the New York City Opera when Gerard Mortier was to become general manager. Mortier, who became the Teatro Real's artistic director in 2010, announced the company's 2012-13 season Tuesday.
The opera is based on the novel by Peter Stephan Jungk.
Dennis Russel Davies conducts and Phelim McDermott directs in a co-production with the English National Opera.
