Talking of minimalism, this recent recording of a Philip Glass opera was done dring lockdown so I amazed at how well they pulled this off. I know a lot of people will probably think it tired and predictable that they incorporated masks into what the chorus is wearing, but personally... I'd wear that on the street. It looks awesome. @41:56

So for 2 hours enjoy and wallow in this opera.
