Watching Philip Glass‘s Akhnaten is a thought-provoking, absorbing experience.

Akhnaten uses texts drawn from ancient hymns, prayers, letters and inscriptions sung in their original Egyptian, Hebrew and Akkadian to explore the life of the Egyptian pharaoh who fathered a new religion.

To promote the opera we produced a performance film with ENO’s resident creative Keiron Rennie performing his response to the production.
