Beautiful ❤❤❤

what is going on in these comments? homies just casually retvrning to outright paganism 😂

I just learned that Ray Manzarek of the Doors was an Atenist. I wonder if he got to see this opera after it came out in 1984. Sadly, he didn't live to see this version.

Wassit all about?

Bless you for sharing this piece.

Even though this opera is set in Egypt, that text in Papyrus font still looks cheap.

This was the perfect production for the simulcast. Thank goodness for subtitles. This truly is one of the great tragedies.

Not knowing the opera very well, I wasn't terribly bothered by this staging. I highly recommend the full-length recording somewhere else on YT that someone made of the radio broadcast of this Live in HD broadcast. Her technique is dazzling. Brian Jagde as Alvaro is a standout as well.

The singing in this opera never fails to give me goosebumps. It is simply transcendent.

I'm not super spiritual, but music like this transports me into the divine.

God‘s soliloguy 「At a conservative estimate,It was premature joy」

Let’s face the facts. The idolatrous praise that some of us heap on Akhnaten tends to alienate others. Numerous subscribers at a recent HD screening walked away muttering. Many of them made fun of Glass’s style and commented that fans must have drunk some mind-altering Kool-Aid. At the beginning of Akhnaten, ten minutes of repetitions of a simple four-note motif take place before any musical development starts. For me, this is mesmerizing. But non-believers think that those who adore Philip Glass are delusional.

finally a case use for papyrus

An inspired performance doesn't begin to cover it. It is superb, Thank you very much

Years ago, Akhenaten was telecast from the MET to a local movie theater. The experience was cannot be summarized by WOW !!!

Beautyfull

What a voice!!! The staging is a bit off but I like these performances because they make beautiful voices like this one shine more

Mike...

I really like this staging!

Difficult to believe that the same company that produces the Zeffirelli Bohême come up with something like this! WOW

Brava!

❤

Saw the reprise in 2022 at the Met. The closing of Act II with Hymn to the Sun might be the greatest stage spectacle I will ever witness. The music, the singing, the pacing, the ascent and the striking image of the sun. An absolute triumph of performance art!

Superb singing from Anthony Roth Constanzo...I love this opera...

Absolutely breathtaking

I thank You Hashem I gratefully thank You, O living and eternal King, for You have returned my soul within me with compassion - abundant is Your faithfulness!

I would love to see this, incredible.

Fantàstica representació.

Deeply emotional performance. Horrific sets and

Super ELINA!!!!! Perfetta nel ruolo!!!! ❤

Das Grosse liegt im Einfachen. Das Einfache ist grossartig!

Phenomenal

The melody at 1:43 makes me cry.

The sun, source of life on earth, the true deity...

Браво браво

Absolutely gorgeous!!

AKHNATEN (Text sung in English from Winton Thomas's English translation published in Documents from Old Testament Times) Thou dost appear beautiful On the horizon of heaven Oh, living Aten He who was the first to live When thou hast risen on the Eastern Horizon Thou art fair, great, dazzling, High above every land Thy rays encompass the land To the very end of all thou hast made. All the beasts are satisfied with their pasture Trees and plants are verdant Birds fly from their nests, wings spread Flocks skip with their feet All that fly and alight Live when thou hast arisen. How manifold is that which thou hast made Thou sole God There is no other like thee Thou didst create the earth According to thy will Being alone, everything on earth Which walks and flies on high. Thy rays nourish the fields When thou dost rise They live and thrive for thee Thou makest the seasons to nourish All thou hast made The winter to cool The heat that they may taste thee. There is no other that knows thee Save thy son, Akhnaten For thou hast made him skilled In thy plans and thy might Thou dost raise him up for thy son Who comes forth from thyself.

A masterpiece
