Philip Glass' Akhnaten heard/seen the 1st time, and the 1st thought was how beautiful the prelude's start sounds. Then it takes a little 2 long repetitively w/ nothing really visually engaging instead either/it's PG, what did I/you expect?
Once the father/Amenhotep III speaks, the thought of our still performing our funerary + worshipping rites 2 ancient Egyptian kings & gods arises. And that this worship I want to or don't mind participating in. Praise the gods.
If you can catch the recording of The Met's Akhnaten opera, do.
Especially if feeling like going to church/temple. Or if you want to appreciate the stunning visual of Akhenaten, Nefertiti + his mother Tye in front of the sun, for one.
