This stunning opera follows the rise and fall of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhnaten and his grand vision for a new religious and cultural order. Glass states, “The opera completes the trilogy of portrait operas I began in 1975 with Einstein on the Beach and continued in 1979 with Satyagraha … Einstein - the man of science; Gandhi - the man of politics; Akhnaten - the man of religion. These themes (science, politics, religion) are, to an extent, shared by all three and they inform our ideological and real worlds.” The opera premiered 1984 in Stuttgart, Germany.
