About Akhnaten

Directed by Phelim McDermott, Akhnaten is an opera based on the life of an Egyptian Pharoah, Akhenaten. The theater production revolves around life and religion. It narrates the story of a Pharaoh who wanted his people to worship one God- Sun. He abandoned the Egyptian Polytheism, closed all the temples, wiped their names off monuments and built an entirely new Egyptian capital, Akhenaten. The opera also includes Akhenaten’s son Tutankhamun and his wife Nefertiti.

Akhnaten’s is the last part of Glass’s trilogy of ’potrait’ operas and each part has its focus on a different theme. Its libretto is a collaborative effort of Shalom Goldman, Robert Israel, Jerome Robbins and Richard Riddell.The inspiration was taken from Freud’s Moses and Monotheism and Velikovsky’s Oedipus and Akhnaton. The opera’s libretto is different than the conventional ones; it narrates the story of the Pharoah through a series of tableaux. Akhnaten is a masterpiece which captures the spirit of the old days and brings it to live. The orchestration of the opera is also unusual; there is no violin which creates a mournful and dark aura. Choreographed by Sean Gandini, the opera consists of a total of 3 acts, featuring original texts from ancient prayers, letters, hymns and inscriptions.
