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 />
