MUSIC A Composer's Notes Narrated by the composer. A Composer's Notes takes the form of an interior monologue as Glass allows us an intimate look at the inspiration, development, and production of his third opera, AKHNATEN. Two productions of the opera premiered almost simultaneously, at the Stuttgart Opera and the Houston Grand Opera. Their dramatically different interpretations of AKHNATEN make for a fascinating contrast in American and European theatrical values. Filmed at rehearsals and performances in Germany, the United States, Egypt, and India. The film also looks back to two earlier Glass music-theater works: Einstein on the Beach and Satyagraha. |
