Science in opera

Everyday culture reflects science and the impact of ATLAS and the Large Hadron Collider.

The opera Les Troyens by Hector Berlioz, produced originally at the Palau de les Arts in Valencia, Spain in 2009 (and later shown in Warsaw and Moscow), featured a modernistic set very similar to a classic photo of ATLAS taken in 2005 while it was under construction.
