Sestává ze tří částí, z nichž každá zachycuje jeden z velkých (a neslavných) příběhů dějin lidského poznávání: * Tragédii vzducholodě Hindenburg * Atomové testy na atolu Bikini * Klonování ovečky Dolly Má posluchače (a diváka) přimět k zamyšlení nad překotným vývojem vědy a techniky. Ve třetí části vystupuje několik významných postav světové vědy, mezi jinými např. zakladatel laboratoře umělé inteligence na MIT Marvin Minsky nebo známý popularizátor evoluční biologie Richard Dawkins. Dílo bylo poprvé uvedeno 12. května 2002, v Česku se mu dostalo premiéry v rámci festivalu Hudební fórum Hradec Králové v roce 2006. (cs)

  • Three Tales is a video-opera in three acts (titled Hindenburg, Bikini and Dolly) with music by American composer Steve Reich and visuals by Beryl Korot, his wife. It is scored for two sopranos, three tenors, string quartet, percussion, keyboards, and pre-recorded audio. Its premiere was at the Vienna Festival on May 12, 2002; the BBC had commissioned a version for television broadcast four months later. The 12-minute tale Hindenburg had been written (and recorded) in 1998, while the remaining tales were completed (and recorded) in the year of the premiere. The musical narrative of Three Tales follows "speech melodies" of pre-recorded interviews, and in many ways resembles Reich's works The Cave (1990–1993), City Life (1995) and Different Trains (1988). The libretto of Three Tales can be found on the website of the composer (see bottom of page). Three Tales is a response to nearly a hundred years of modern technology, concerning the explosion of the Hindenburg, nuclear testings on Bikini Atoll, and the cloning of Dolly the sheep (drawing connections between genetic engineering and artificial intelligence). The different stories are told from various perspectives, with speech culled from interviews with eyewitnesses, audiovisual documentary material of both the Hindenburg and Bikini tragedies, and experts in computer science (e.g. Marvin Minsky and Kevin Warwick), artificial intelligence (Rodney Brooks), Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, and genetic engineering (Richard Dawkins).
