The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin: An Opera

Overview

A full recording of an all-night performance of Robert Wilson's The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin: An Opera. Recorded on December 21, 1973. In many ways a compilation of all the stage work Wilson had done with the “Byrds,” The Life and Times of Joseph Stalin reworked elements of The Life and Times of Sigmund Freud, Deafman Glance, Overture, and KA MOUNTAIN AND GUARDenia TERRACE into a seven act, 12-hour piece.
