Akhnaten

  • Anthony Roth Costanzo in the title role © Karen Almond / Metropolitan Opera

Philip Glass’s modern masterpiece Akhnaten features star countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo as the title pharaoh, the revolutionary ruler who abandoned traditional Egyptian polytheism in favor of just one god – the sun. The opera doesn’t have a conventional narrative. Instead, the story of Akhnaten is told through a series of tableaux. To match the opera’s hypnotic, ritualistic music, director McDermott offers an arresting vision that includes a virtuosic company of acrobats and jugglers.
