Einstein- A Matter Of Time
E=mc² the formula of all formulas arose from the realization that nothing can travel faster than light. Its creator's groundbreaking treatises revolutionized our understanding of the universe and form the foundation of modern physics. Albert Einstein's pioneering insights, as well as his commitment to international understanding and global peace, made him the most famous natural scientist of all time. Together with director and librettist Gil Mehmert (The Miracle of Bern, Desert Flower, Goethe!), the acclaimed composer Frank Wildhorn (Dracula, The Count of Monte Cristo, Rudolf The Mayerling Affair, and many more) has now created a monument to the life and work of Albert Einstein: The new musical traces the private life and eventful career of the cosmopolitan Einstein, from his unconventional physics student at the Zurich Polytechnic, through his employment at the Bern Patent Office, to his escape from Nazi Germany and his professorship at Princeton University. At the same time, it is a multifaceted portrait of the academic circles and society in which Einstein moved, with compositions that, on the one hand, uphold the Wildhorn tradition of grand, emotional ballads, and, on the other, depict the fertile ground of Einstein's work with gripping "I Want" songs and rousing ensemble numbers.
