Akhnaten : Kamensek / MET Opera, Costanzo, Bridges, Larusdottir, Z.James, etc (2019 Stereo)(2CD)

Starring as the ancient Egyptian pharaoh who attempted to radically alter his society, countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo headlines this performance from the Live in HD series. In her Met-debut season, Karen Kamensek conducts the hypnotic score, leading a cast that also features soprano Dsella Lrusdttir as Queen Tye, mezzo-soprano J'Nai Bridges as Nefertiti, and bass Zachary James as Amenhotep I. Phelim McDermott's endlessly inventive production filled the Met stage with breathtaking visuals, including virtuosic pattern-juggling routines by Gandini Juggling. - In her Met-debut season, Karen Kamensek conducts the hypnotic score, leading a cast that also features soprano Dsella Lrusdttir as Queen Tye, mezzo-soprano JNai Bridges as Nefertiti, and bass Zachary James as Amenhotep I.
