How an opera gets made

I love this!

The beauty of Philip Glass music is something out of this world.

This good advertising for Glass to make some royalties money.

This was fun to watch. Only wish I could’ve been near where this was taken place at this time to actually see the show.

Fascinating!

Hope it's better than the very average Electra I saw a year ago.

I saw it last week in London. I've never enjoyed anything as much in my life. What an outstanding performance.

I saw this video a few years ago and decided if I ever got a chance to see it I would and I saw it last night at the English National Opera and it was one of the best things I have seen in my life! So pleased I came across this video otherwise it would have never been on my radar

Did Glass see this tremendous production of his opera? I wonder what he thought of it.

I don't need to see this guy naked

Now I can understand why the only thing more expensive than opera is war.

The best musical experience in my lifetime

Oh! The "Ah" argument scene, where Akhenaten disputes with the priests.
Like "We don't know the words spoken during that argument, so 'ah' it is".

I recently saw this production production for the 2021 - 2022 Met Opera season and I was very impressed

Just got home from NYC specifically to see this once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece. Thank you Vox for inspiring the whole trip with this video!!!!!!

This is super cool, + I'd love to see this team doing Turandot also but maybe that's just me +++

the artistry is beautiful but the fact that they PAINT him white when Egyptians are black is strange. Not a great decision for makeup and costuming.

Thank you so much for making a video that I can show people when I am trying to explain how weird my favorite opera really is.

ahhhhhh ahhh , ohhhoo noooo , maaaaa ddddd mmmmaaaaaddd

Very cool!

I miss dress rehearsal huhuhu

Egyptian knowledge is so relevant around the world and I wish I was taught younger but now I understand more of the entire world and art. Also noticed no melanated main stars.

Blasphemy

And is this an Art?

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, aaaaaaaahhhhhhh, aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

Ima go make an opera. See you in a few months. ( I'm not lieing )

I was waiting for them to say “bisto”

Thanks so much for making this -- there needs to be more coverage of this amazing art form, and Vox totally nailed this mini-doc. Maybe a full-length one in the future?

oh god, two karens

My throat hurts

Opera is sooo underrated

What about Akhnaten being Moses?

So the 2 Karens finally can boss people around.

Classic Karens trying to keep everyone in check.




Lol





Its a joke, if you cant take it then you truly are a Karen.

i want to get high and watch this opera.

Amazing! great video!
Writing in December 2020 - when travel and shows re-open, I'm going to book a plane ticket and see this opera.

Is the song where they sing ah just called ah?

I knew it'd be freakin Karen!

Too easy, Ah Ahhhh Ahh AH AH Ahhhh lol

This is one of my favourite operas. It's really amazing.

This opera is an experience like no other, STUNNING, takes you to another dimension!!!!!!!

Video incrível!
Não entendo muito de ópera, mas estou tentando aprender mais sobre e esse vídeo foi bastante esclarecedor sobre alguns pontos.

Im just now discovering this opera and am getting way too obsessed

So many karens

I want to experience this opera so badly
