minus-squareFlying Squidlink1•edit-25 months ago Nixon goes to China and US opens official office in Beijing There’s an opera about that. I don’t even like opera (I went because a friend did the costumes) and I really enjoyed it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_in_China Edit: Discovered a French opera company did a production that was televised and put on YouTube. It won’t be as good as seeing it live because it’s a real visual spectacle, but I recommend it regardless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G72JjpMEdKs
