I missed going to Puccini's Butterfly this morning. It was a conscious choice. Rebecca and I are going to spend 5 quiet hours on a Saturday in her office instead -- hoping to get ahead with writing, though that never really happens, does it.
We already have our tickets for Phillip Glass's Akhnaten to be telecast January 23rd.
She flies out that evening to Australia and I go back to Calgary.
Normal people would be packing that day, but what isn't packed the day before is not going with us. Opera first, vacation comfort second.
I don't know much about Phillip Glass.
So I will make some notes between now and then. Here are the places I am going to visit on my notes taking tour:
The review of Akhnaten from The Guardian when the opera played at the Collesium in London and closed February 2019 was my beginning place to learn a bit more.
And go inside rehearsals is a good link of 28 seconds of juggling in Akhnaten from the Metropolitan site.
Here is a review from Playbill which is where I will go to take most of my notes.
Here is an 8 minute you tube clip of The Window of Appearances for anyone who might not be able to get there, but who has 8 minutes to watch an 2013 production of the opera.
That is about it on how I am going to go about my homework for Akhnaten.
