The chamber opera "Hydrogen jukebox" featuring the music of Philip Glass and the work of beat poet Allen Ginsberg, and production design by James Sirlin was intended to form a portrait of America covering the 1950s through the late 1980s. Glass and Ginsberg sought to incorporate the personal poems of Ginsberg, reflecting on social issues: the anti-war movement, the sexual revolution, drugs, eastern philosophy, environmental issues.
