J’Nai Bridges, Anthony Roth Costanzo, kunye noDísella Lárusdóttir njengentsapho yasebukhosini yase-Egypt Akhnaten .UKaren Almond / Met Opera Opera enemincili Akhnaten , kunye nemibhalo yayo ye-oracular kunye nomculo opholileyo opholileyo nguPhilip Glass, kubonakala ngathi ngumgqatswa wolindelo lomdlalo wegalala kuloo tempile ingaphezulu kweMetropolitan Opera. Kodwa ngolwesiHlanu ebusuku iMet premiere yomsebenzi oneminyaka engama-35 awuzalisanga indlu enkulu kuphela kodwa waphumelela intswahla yomsindo kubalingisi, iqela lobuchule kunye nomqambi we-octogenarian ngokwakhe.
Ukuba umboniso ovuyayo uzive ungathandekiyo, kungenxa yokuba isiqwenga asiyonto yoloyiso. Inika, njengoluhlu lweetheyibhile, ikhosi egxothiweyo kaFaro owanikezela ulawulo lwakhe olufutshane kwimisebenzi ye-quixotic yohlaziyo lwenkolo: ukubeka uthixo welanga u-Aten ngaphezu kwabo bonke abanye oothixo base-Egypt.
Ngokwimeko ye-opera, eli linge kwinto ngoku esiyibiza ngokuba nguthixo omnye kukusilela. U-Akhnaten, engazinanzi iimfuno zelizwe lakhe, uyasuswa esikhundleni sakhe kwaye wagwintwa kwaye uhlengahlengiso lwezenkolo lwabuya umva. Iziporho zosapho lwasebukhosini zilila okwexeshana kwaye emva koko bajoyine umngcwabo wabo.
Umculo weGlass ngokufanelekileyo ucocekile kuninzi lwesiqwenga, ubonakalisa mhlawumbi umlinganiswa ekude kunye nokucamngca. Isenzo sesibini sibonisa iziqwenga ezibini ezithandekayo, i-duo etyebileyo ka-Akhnaten kunye nokumkanikazi wakhe uNefertiti kunye ne-solo yobumnandi obunyulu njengoko uFaro enqula u-Aten.
I-Met ngokucacileyo ibeke inkathalo enkulu kule ntetho, kwaye ukuba bekukho indawo enye ebuthathaka, yayikukudlala kweokhestra. Ngaphandle kwento ebibonakala ngathi ziinjongo ezintle kwicala lokuqhuba komqhubi uKaren Kamensek, uphawu lwentengiso lwe-arpeggios olona lubalulekileyo kwisitayile seGlasi ngamanye amaxesha sasivakala njengenwele engalinganiyo. Lo mbandela wawubalasele ikakhulu kwisandulela esincinci kwisenzo sokuqala, esasibonakala ngathi sitsala ngonaphakade.
UMlawuli uPhelim McDermott kunye neqela lakhe basete inyathelo ubukhulu becala kwindawo emxinwa yesiteji phambi kwesakhiwo esiphakamileyo esibonisa iscaffolding, into ebhekisa kwiiprojekthi zokwakha itempile ezinomdla zika-Akhnaten, mhlawumbi. Ubunzima bemihla ngemihla benkundla yase-Egypt-njengoko kubonwa ngamehlo ethu anamhlanje anomdla kodwa angaqondiyo-uMcDermott ucebise ngeqela lejugglers.
Ewe, bekukho okuninzi juggling, kodwa ngokunyanisekileyo ndafumanisa ukuba le nto yenziwa ngcono kunaleyo kaMcDermott engaphantsi komnyhadala wentelekelelo wabalinganiswa abaziintloko. Iminqamlezo esecaleni eqengqelekayo yeqonga inokuba yayijolise ekuboniseni ubucwebe obusesikweni bepeyinti, kodwa ngokudibeneyo nomculo weGlass intshukumo yomkhenkce waziva ivela kuRobert Wilson.
Kodwa kwimidlalo yeqonga phantse nayiphi na into inokusebenza ukuba umlingisi uzibophelele ngokwaneleyo, kwaye ku-countertenor u-Anthony Roth Costanzo kwindima yesikhundla uMcDermott ufumene imyuziyam yakhe. Kwa neengcinga ezinokuvakala zirhabaxa ephepheni, umzekelo, ukuzalwa kuka-Akhnaten kwityala lika-mummy, enqunu ngokupheleleyo, kunye nembonakalo yakhe ecothayo yokunxiba abalindi abalishumi elinambini, waziva eyinyani kwaye eyinyani.
Ubunzima obuncinci, obuncinci be-Costanzo kunye nesimo sakhe sengqondo sokubamba ubonakalise ngokugqibeleleyo ubume behlabathi buka-Akhnaten, kwaye wayeyeyona nto inyanzelisayo kumanani nje omdlalo wesibini. Eyona nto yayichukumisa ngokwenene yayikukugqibela kweso senzo, xa u-Costanzo, wayefakwe kwisilika enombala welangatye, ngokunyanisekileyo wenyuka kwizinyuko ezinde kwinqanaba elingenanto.
Esi senzo sikwabonisa eyona ngoma yakhe ibalaseleyo yangokuhlwa, xa wayethambisa umgangatho wobukrelekrele kwilizwi lakhe awaliva ngaphambili, kwaye wavuma ingoma ngepiyano ye-Hymn kwiLanga. Kwilizwe elilungileyo, iAkhnaten inokunika ithoni ethandeka ngakumbi ngaphakathi, kodwa ubugcisa beCostanzo benza ubuhle bobabo.
Ngokudabukisayo, isandi sakhe asidibananga kakuhle kunye ne-mezzo ye-J'Nai Bridges (Nefertiti) kwisithandwa sabo, nangona kunjalo, umculo wabo obalaseleyo wawunokubonakala. Isithathu sokugqibela esilusizi se-opera sisebenze ngcono kakhulu, ilizwi labo lincedisana nesoprano esineqhwa esiphakamileyo saseDísella Lárusdóttir njengo-Queen Tye.
Ukuphosa ibass uZachary James njengoyise ka-Akhnaten kunye no-Amenhotep III owayengaphambi kwakhe yayingu-masterstroke. Umzimba wakhe omde omde kunye nemisipha, ngokudibanisa nelizwi lakhe elinamandla, wenza iarchetype yamandla asebukhosini ngokuchasene neAkhnaten yemibongo.
Iprotean Met chorus yavakala ukuba inkulu kakhulu kuzo zonke iilwimi ezahlukeneyo ze-libretto, kwaye ikwazile nokuzimela.
Ewe, Akhnaten Ngaba amashumi eminyaka alindelwe ukubonakala kweMet, kodwa enkosi kuPhilip Glass ayivakali kancinci. Nokuba iboniswe ngendlela engeyiyo efanelekileyo, ichaneka ngokugqibeleleyo.
