Though many have praised the opera for its attempt to examine a major event in modern history, Doctor Atomic is not without its detractors. The head of the American Physical Society has criticized parts of the libretto for not being scientifically accurate and many wonder if Robert Oppenheimer himself would enjoy the production. Tickets to Doctor Atomic will see a scientist who understands and fears the power of the atomic bomb, but who also understands the impact the bomb will have. Oppenheimer has had brushes with those who have tried to make sense of his life and his role in the Manhattan Project, saying that he does not regret his actions for the other atrocities that occurred throughout World War II.
Whether or not the physicist would have liked the play written nearly 40 years after his death is unknown, but the incredible interest by the opera community is clear.

Show Biography - Doctor Atomic
While most think of opera as a classic form, bathed in everything Italian, from its language to its costumes, the art form lives on with modern adaptations, modern renditions, and occasionally new modern stories. Doctor Atomic is one of those stories. With composition written by John Adams and a libretto written by Peter Sellar, Doctor Atomic tickets grant the audience a chance to hear, see, and feel the tensions surrounding the first atomic bomb test in Los Alamos, New Mexico in 1945.
The modern opera debuted at the San Francisco Opera on October 1, 2005 and has since sold tickets in Amsterdam at the De Nederlandse Opera, in Chicago at the Lyric Opera, and in New York at the Metropolitan Opera. The story focuses on Kitty Oppenheimer, the wife of U.S. physicist Robert Oppenheimer, and her anxieties over Manhattan Project.
The original production starred Gerald Finley as Robert Oppenheimer, Kristine Jepson as Kitty Oppenheimer, and Eric Owens as General Leslie Groves. The cast tells a story originally conducted by Donald Runnicles and choreographed by Lucinda Childs. Adams Doctor Atomic is noteworthy for its portrayal of the characters and the personalities that were ultimately involved in the test. This focus on character and personality rather than the event itself is something of a trade mark for Adams, whose other operas (Nixon in China and The Death of Klinghoffer) follow suit.
Doctor Atomic uses historical sources for much of its material and also utilizes quotes and songs from the historical sources like the Bhagavad Gita and the Tewa, religious text from the Holy Sonnets of John Donne, and poetic lines from Muriel Rukeyser. The myriad of sources and inspirations make Doctor Atomic tickets the highlight of the season when the controversial production visits.
