Hail Bop! A Portrait of John Adams

Shot over the course of a year, this intimate portrait of provocative composer John Adams presents scenes of the artist at work and at play against the backdrop of dramatic American landscapes that reflect the themes of his music. Though he has a number of credits to his name, Adams is best known for his unconventional opera "Nixon in China," which explores the former U.S. president's meeting with Mao Zedong in 1972.

Director: Tony Palmer

Cast: John Adams, Peter Sellars, Alice Goodman, Emanuel Ax
