Philip Glass’s meditative masterpiece Akhnaten—a hit when it had its Met premiere in 2019—returns to our stage tonight, May 19, in a powerful production by Phelim McDermott. Karen Kamensek retakes the podium to conduct a spellbinding cast that features countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo and mezzo-soprano Rihab Chaieb, seen here in an excerpt of Akhnaten and Neferiti’s Act II love duet. On stage through June 10: bit.ly/3LWLp3Z Videography by Neville Braithwaite / Met Opera | The Metropolitan Oper
