Akhnaten by Philip Glass

Akhnaten tells the story of one of the most influential figures in history: the first pharaoh to transition from worshiping a pantheon of gods to just one, making Râ, the Sun, the sole deity of his kingdom. The award-winning countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo will take on the complex lead role, alongside Rihab Chaieb as Nefertiti.

Philip Glass, an influential American composer with a catalog that includes film soundtracks, chamber music, music for dance, symphonies, theatrical pieces, and various forms of opera, decided to dedicate a trilogy of operas to great revolutionary figures in history.

This is one of the most significant premieres in the national territory in recent decades. A hypnotic score and a sensual staging brimming with visual magic.
