「《阿肯那頓》是美國大都會歌劇院有史以來其中一個最好的演出」－New York Classical Review

戲曲中心將於2021年1月17日放映菲力普．格拉斯的歌劇鉅獻《阿肯那頓》。這部美國大都會歌劇院2019年的製作，由金球獎作曲家格拉斯和奧利花獎導演菲利．麥達莫攜手合作，以靈幻的音樂及舞台講述史詩式人物故事。

《阿肯那頓》為格拉斯於1980年代所創作的「歷史人物歌劇三部曲」 之一，以古埃及第十八世法老王阿肯那頓改革古埃及宗教信仰的歷史事蹟為藍本；麥達莫運用特技演員創造令人目不轉睛的畫面，加上如畫的舞台美學和場面調度，大顯藝術異采，加上本劇心馳神遊的儀式音樂，讓觀眾享受聽覺及視覺的饗宴。門票現已公開發售，立即購票：https://wk.org.hk/33XOTPZ

“Akhnaten is easily one of the finest things to ever appear at the Met.”

── New York Classical Review

Written in 1983, Akhnaten is the third opera in Philip Glass’s “portrait” trilogy, which also includes Einstein on the Beach and Satyagraha. Glass turns his attention in Akhnaten to the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten (Amenhotep IV), the revolutionary ruler who transformed ancient Egypt.

The screening, which will be held at the Xiqu Centre on 17 January 2021, presents director Phelim McDermott’s 2019 production of the opera, with star countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo in the title role and mezzo-soprano J’Nai Bridges – in her Met debut – as his wife, Nefertiti. The production also features a virtuosic company of acrobats and jugglers, whose circus-like movements provide an arresting visual counterpart to the opera’s hypnotic, ritualistic music, conducted by Karen Kamensek.
