1000 Airplanes on the Roof
In March 2026, Third Angle New Music releases the premiere recording of this rarely performed Philip Glass sci-fi epic. 1000 Airplanes on the Roof is a “science fiction music drama” which premiered July 15, 1988 at the Vienna International Airport, Hangar No. 3. Set in New York City, the character “M” recalls encounters with extra-terrestrial life forms, including their message, “It is better to forget, it is pointless to remember. No one will believe you.” Are the surrealistic details an accurate recollection of a voyage through space, part of a drug-induced nightmare, or the beginning of a mental breakdown?
Release date: March 6, 2026
