This production of Akhnaten was originally created by LA Opera, Improbable, and English National Opera, where it premiered, winning the 2017 Olivier Award for Best New Opera Production.Ĭaptured live on stage in New York and screened at Riverside.įYI: Akhnaten will be performed without subtitles, except for scene titles and select text. One of the staging’s distinctive visual features is provided by the Gandini Juggling Company, whose movements are perfectly choreographed with the orchestral score. In her Met debut, J’Nai Bridges sings the role of Nefertiti, Akhnaten’s bride, and Dísella Lárusdóttir is Queen Tye, the pharaoh’s mother. Anthony Roth Costanzo sings the title role of the Egyptian pharaoh who attempted to inspire his people to adopt a new religion, abandoning the worship of the old gods for that of a single deity. The Met Opera is proud to present the Met premiere of American composer Philip Glass’s transcendent contemporary creation. “Spellbinding… hypnotic” – New York Times “Totally engrossing – mesmerising” – Wall Street Journal
