Berlin, Germany (Akhnaten)
April 5
Komische Oper Berlin presents a new production of Akhnaten. It was in 2017 that the production of Satyagraha by the Komische Oper Berlin premiered to great acclaim. Now we have another chapter in the opera trilogy by the minimal-music pioneer Philip Glass, each work focussed on an individual who changed the world: this time, the Egyptian pharaoh Akhnaten, played by John Holliday. Directing is Barrie Kosky, whose Moses and Aaron and now Akhnaten show us how contemporary music can take mythic figures and make them strikingly vivid and tangibly real. Performances March 15 – April 20, 2025.
