Παραδοσιακά η Met μας επιφυλάσσει μια νέα, μεγάλη παραγωγή κάθε Νοέμβριο. Ο βραβευμένος Phelim McDermott, γνωστός μεταξύ άλλων από παραγωγές όπως η τεράστια επιτυχία Σατιαγκράχα του Philip Glass, επιστρέφει στη Met με τη νέα παραγωγή Ακενατόν. Ο Anthony Roth Costanzo ερμηνεύει τον ομώνυμο ρόλο του Φαραώ που προσπαθεί να εμπνεύσει τον λαό του να ασπαστεί μια νέα θρησκεία και να εγκαταλείψει την πολυθεϊκή πίστη. Στο ντεμπούτο της στη Met, η J’Nai Bridges ερμηνεύει τη Νεφερτίτη, τη γυναίκα του Ακενατόν, και η Dísella Lárusdóttir τη βασίλισσα Τάι, τη μητέρα του Φαραώ.
Μια ιδιαίτερη νότα στην παράσταση δίνει η συμμετοχή της ομάδας Gandini Juggling Company με χορογραφίες, ταχυδακτυλουργικά κόλπα και ακροβατικά απολύτως εναρμονισμένα με τη μουσική παρτιτούρα. Διευθύνει η πρωτοεμφανιζόμενη στη Met Karen Kamensek.
Η παραγωγή του Ακενατόν σχεδιάστηκε αρχικά από την LA Opera και την English National Opera σε συνεργασία με την Improbable, ενώ κέρδισε το Lawrence Olivier Award στην κατηγορία Best New Opera Production, όταν πρωτοπαρουσιάστηκε το 2017.

Ελληνικά

The Met has traditionally put on a new, big production every November. Phelim McDermott, whose productions include the hugely successful Satyagrahaby Philip Glass, returns to the Met with a new staging of Glass’s Akhnaten. Anthony Roth Costanzo sings the title role of the Egyptian pharaoh who attempted to inspire his people to adopt a new religion, abandoning the worship of the old gods for that of a single deity. In her Met debut, J’Nai Bridges sings the role of Nefertiti, Akhnaten’s bride, and Dísella Lárusdóttir is Queen Tye, the pharaoh’s mother.
A special note is given to the production by the participation of the Gandini Juggling Company, with choreography, juggling tricks and acrobatics in perfect harmony with the musical score. Karen Kamensek conducts in her Met debut.
This production of Akhnaten was originally created by LA Opera, Improbable, and English National Opera, where it premiered, winning the 2017 Olivier Award for Best New Opera Production.
