Philip Glass returns to LA Opera with Akhnaten.

"A gloriously coloured eye-catching affair." - The Guardian

"Significant… eye-popping new production. Now, thanks to LA Opera, we have the first major American “Akhnaten” in more than quarter-century" - Los Angeles Times

In ancient Egypt, Akhnaten ascends to the throne along with his bride Nefertiti. He has a vision for his people, a vision that abandons the worship of many gods for just one: the Sun God who reigns supreme. Akhnaten's bold attempt to alter the course of history with a single revolutionary idea ultimately leads to his violent overthrow.
