by FSHG on 3/13/13Clowes Memorial Hall - IndianapolisThis Phillip Glass opera is superb! And the performance was amazing; beautiful voices, excellent orchestra, gorgeous costumes and wonderful story telling. The whole production reflects the minimalist approach for which Glass' music known without being arid. Staging of the singers, and the backdrops allowed the music itself to shine through from both the orchestra and the singers. In addition, it is a multimedia production, with spoken word, projected scenes from both ancient Egypt and modern Egypt. All aspects were beautifully interwoven. A wonderful evening, well spent.
