Composer Philip Glass is an ambitious man who at age 70 is debuting an opera about the Civil War, the bloodiest conflict in U.S. history, whose legacy still haunts the country more than 140 years later. Glass, whose inspirations for more than 20 operas have ranged from a vision of Albert Einstein strolling on the beach to Gandhi preaching nonviolence, says the new opera, "Appomattox," is different from his other works.
