Correction: Saw NYCOpera premiere of AKHNATEN in 1983. Glass wrote a great score for THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF USHER in a brilliant production by Richard Foreman. His SATYGRAHA has pages of brilliance. His failures include The Met Columbus THE VOYAGE and his presumptuous disembowlment of Walt Disney in his LAOpera commission. At least The Met didn't update AKNAHTEN to downtown Cairo in our time.

Amato Opera was kinda fun too.
