“Nixon in China” is already an opera in three acts by John Adams, with libretto by Alice Goodman. About Nixon’s 1972 visit , It premiered in Houston in 1987 and broke ground for its portrayal of contemporary subject matter.
As a quick clarification: I referred to President Nixon because he fit the profile more of a tragic hero, often featured in classic tragedies put to libretto. As a bona fide Nixon-hater -- when I was a teen and to my spiritual shame -- I can say safely that Trump makes President Nixon almost seem okay. Perhaps a soap opera would better suit Trump. Back to back: 'Keeping up with the Kardashians' followed by 'Going down with the Trumps'. 😉😃😵💫
