Met Opera: Akhnaten
$53-$410
Philip Glass's mesmerizing modern masterpiece – a smash-hit in its 2019 company-premiere run – returns in Phelim McDermott's unforgettable production, which brings ancient Egypt to vivid life with striking stage tableaux and a troupe of jugglers. Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo reprises his celebrated turn as the revolutionary pharaoh Akhnaten, with mezzo-soprano Rihab Chaieb as his wife and queen, Nefertiti. Once again at the helm is conductor Karen Kamensek, a noted master of Glass’s music.
