With a libretto drawing on ancient texts like The Book of the Dead and a hypnotic\, atmospheric score\, Akhnaten portrays a doomed visionary with all his feats and foibles. Finland’s Dalia Stasevska makes her company debut conducting this tribute to one of the most transformative chapters in Egyptian history. \n                                \n         \nRunning time:  approximately three hours\, including two intermissions. \nSung in English\, Ancient Egyptian\, Biblical Hebrew and Akkadian\, with English subtitles. \nA co-production of LA Opera and English National Opera.  A collaboration with Improbable. \n

SUMMARY:Berkeley\, CA (La Belle et la Bête)
DESCRIPTION:https://calperformances.org/events/2025-26/theater/opera-parallele-la-belle-et-la-bete-by-philip-glass-nicole-paiement-artistic-director-and-conductor/ \nOpera Parallèle La Belle et la Bête Nicole Paiement\, artistic director and conductor Brian Staufenbiel\, director and scenic designer Cal Performances Company Debut About this PerformanceProgramby Philip Glass Libretto by the composer Based on the film by Jean Cocteau \nFeaturing Hadleigh Adams\, baritone (La Bête/Avenant) Full cast to be announced  \nThis astonishingly original presentation of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast blurs the distinctions between film and live opera\, merging Jean Cocteau’s classic 1946 romantic fantasy with Philip Glass’ mesmerizing 1994 score. Glass composed the music as a new soundtrack to the film\, transforming the original spoken French dialogue into sung libretto.  \nNow Opera Parallèle has responded to the dreamlike\, subconscious elements of the story with its own new film and stage direction\, further blurring the barriers between the characters onscreen and the singers on stage. The work asks\, What is true beauty? What is good and evil? Can we go beyond appearances and discover the beauty that lies inside the soul?  \n“A multi-veined phantasmagoria of sights and sounds\, drama and pathos and humor” (San Francisco Chronicle).  \nPerformed in French with English subtitles  \nThis performance is made possible in part by Robert Ellis. \nVideo \nBeyond the Stage Related PostsThe lead actors of Opera Parallele’s La Belle et La Bête perform onstage\, with La Bête in the background\, gazing at Belle as she sits in a chair\, wearing a somber expression.

SUMMARY:Amsterdam\, Netherlands (Les Enfants Terribles)
DESCRIPTION:https://operazuid.nl/en/performance/les-enfants-terribles/#playlist-section  \nLes Enfants Terribles  \nGérard tells the story of his friends\, brother Paul and sister Lise\, who live in their own fantasy world. Orphaned and dependent on each other\, they spend their days in their room\, where they play the ‘game’. Gérard is Paul and Lise’s only friend and link to the outside world. As they grow older\, their intense bond becomes increasingly destructive. When it becomes too oppressive for Lise\, she starts working as a model and meets Agathe there. What started as a childish fantasy grows into a web in which everyone becomes entangled. \nFour singers\, an actor and three pianos. That’s all it takes to tell a gripping story about the driving\, transcendent and sometimes destructive power of imagination. \nPhilip Glass’ chamber opera Les Enfants Terribles Philip Glass’ is based on the 1929 novel of the same name by French poet\, writer and filmmaker Jean Cocteau. The music is\, in the words of director Béatrice Lachaussée\, ‘enchanting\, fascinating\, hypnotic\, sometimes cheerful and sometimes oppressive’. Glass is known for his repetitive minimal music. In Les Enfants Terribles\, this music immediately evokes strong images. For Lachaussée\, the music describes life\, which just keeps going on and on\, with ups and downs. There is no escape: once you get on that carousel\, you have to finish the ride…
