For his latest opera, the composer John Adams is mining some of the real-life tumult that churned beneath the surface of the California Gold Rush of the early 1850s — the ethnic tensions, ugly bursts of nativism and brutality toward women. The setting is a departure for a composer whose pathbreaking operas “Nixon in China,” about a 1972 presidential trip, and “The Death of Klinghoffer,” an exploration of a 1985 hijacking, were initially called “CNN operas” by some critics. But John said that the new work, “Girls of the Golden West,” has come to feel disturbingly of the moment — especially its scenes of white miners whipped into anti-immigrant frenzies. For the #opera, which will premiere next week at the @sfopera, John found himself composing the history of a stretch of #California (the #Sierras) where he has had a rustic cabin for decades. The landscape, and the idea, of California loom large in this work. But for John Adams, this might be the last big opera. “I think if I do another theater piece, it’s going to be small,” he said. @tbrownphoto took this picture of John Adams driving to a trailhead near Sierra City, California.
