Scheduled to open the season in 2020, Philip Glass’ Akhnaten, the masterpiece of 20th century opera, will be presented on the stage of the Opéra de Nice on 12, 14 and 16 November 2021, in the presence of the public. Bertrand Rossi, the new director of the Opéra de Nice, will inaugurate his mandate one year later with this sublime production by Lucinda Childs, which has already been seen online. Dancers, singers, musicians, all the forces of the Opéra de Nice are called upon and surround a magnificent cast: Fabrice Di Falco and Julie Robard-Gendre in the roles of Akhnaten and Nefertiti as well as Patrizia Ciofi as Queen Tye and Léo Warynski as conductor. Philip Glass’ Akhnaten, with its hypnotic rhythms, has already won over audiences around the world and is being performed for the very first time in France.
