"Digital Opera in 3-D," Monsters of Grace is a collaboration between Philip Glass and artist Robert Wilson. The recording features the Philip Glass Ensemble & singers conducted by Michael Riesman.
"Over the last three years , Bob Wilson and I have been meeting to work on a new theater piece, Monsters of Grace. Since Einstein on the Beach in 76, we have come together on several occasions to make new work, but unlike those projects, with this present work, we have had a real opportunity to sit together and engage in a new world of ideas. Of course inage, music and structure are at the root of what we are thinking. We are, moreover, addressing a challange of a new technology and it's impact of a developing artistic view. It is fair to say that as an on going process, it is still fluid, elusive, and for us, full of surprise."
- Philip Glass, 1997
