Appomattox Tickets

Appomattox is a landmark two-act opera by Philip Glass with a libretto by Christopher Hampton. Premiered at the San Francisco Opera on October 5, 2007, the work embodies Glass’s evolving minimalist voice while weaving historical strands of the Civil War into the modern Voting Rights era. A revised 2015 version for the Washington National Opera at the Kennedy Center expanded the runtime and added roles for Martin Luther King Jr. and Lyndon B. Johnson, creating a thematic bridge from emancipation to civil rights. While this page celebrates Appomattox as a work in the Glass catalog, there are currently no public 2025–26 tour dates announced. When performances are scheduled, they are produced by major opera companies, and information is shared through official company channels and Philip Glass’s site.

For fans and newcomers alike, Appomattox stands as a dramatic fusion of history and modern opera. We’ve got you covered with reliable information on the composer’s background, the piece’s development, and the performance histories at SF Opera and the Kennedy Center.
