Connection of trends from different cultures takes great place in Philip Glass' creation and is one of the basic pillars to create opera art products. We can find some components of interculturality in opera trilogy of portraits by this composer. The components of Indian theatre Kathakali are the most expressive in this trilogy. Between the most expressive components of kathakali belong mudras (hands motion, body position), which is shown up in some trilogy performances of portraits, further character of narrator - speaker and some musical components, especially expressive using of expanded palette of drums. Of all three operas, components of kathakali are especially in opera Akhnaten and Satyagraha. From the view of musical arrangement there are noticeable expressive components apart from Europe, especially Indian influences, in Glass composition language. Primarily we can find these influences in metro rhythm diameter of creation of art product and also in all musical actions (music as meditation, music as a process, etc.)

The conception of Wilson's production and creation is narrowly bound with the question of perceiving the work of art. Based on experiments with the handicapped people, Robert Wilson has defined two principle levels of perception - external and internal. The internal perception level is expressed mainly in the slow motion conception. A retardation of movement brings about in itself also further questions - a missing text component, deformation of time, loss of the story and its dramatic character. These basic elements of Wilson's conception were found in the opera 'Einstein on the Beach', where Wilson had cooperated with the American music composer Philip Glass. A slow motion which is a basis in constructing several scenes in opera, had an impact on the opera libretto which except from a freedom and surrealistic picturing also brings the basic questions of the story and its absence, or the question of conception of music - dramatic characters. Minimalist music of Philip Glass with a pulsing structure and drive towards constant repetition of music models is creating a unique symbiosis with Wilsons's production poetics.
