p.m.—MIDDLEBURY— <strong>The</strong><br />

Metropolitan Opera presents<br />

Philip Glass’s modern masterpiece<br />

“Akhnaten.” “Akhnaten”<br />

explores the life of the avantgarde<br />

pharaoh, who introduced<br />

the concept of monotheism<br />

to ancient Egypt, using texts<br />

drawn from ancient hymns,<br />

prayers, letters, and inscriptions—sung<br />

in their original<br />

languages set to Glass’s distinctive<br />

music.<br />

Director Phelim McDermott<br />

tackles another one of Philip<br />

Glass’s modern masterpieces,<br />

with star countertenor Anthony<br />

Roth Costanzo as the<br />

revolutionary title ruler who<br />

transformed ancient Egypt,<br />

in cinemas <strong>Nov</strong>ember 23. To<br />

match the opera’s hypnotic,<br />

ritualistic music, McDermott<br />

offers an arresting vision that<br />

includes a virtuosic company<br />

of acrobats and jugglers. Karen<br />

Kamensek conducts. This live<br />

cinema transmission is part of the<br />

Met’s award-winning “Live in HD”<br />

series, bringing opera to more<br />
