Experience a gripping tale of ambition, manipulation, and ruthless power. Set in the aftermath of a long civil war, the play follows Richard, a cunning and charismatic villain, as he unexpectedly schemes his way to the throne – leaving a trail of betrayal and bloodshed in his wake. With sharp wit and chilling determination, Richard stops at nothing to achieve his goals, even as the consequences close in around him. A thrilling drama, Richard III is one of Shakespeare’s most iconic explorations of corruption, control, and the obsessive pursuit of power.

Composer Philip Glass transports you to ancient Egypt in his enthralling portrait of a trailblazing pharaoh.  Akhnaten is determined to lead Egypt into a new age even as his plan to abandon the old gods puts his kingdom and his life in peril. Director Phelim McDermott revives his visually arresting production, replete with soaring acrobats, astonishing jugglers and towering sets.  With a libretto drawing on ancient texts like The Book of the Dead and a hypnotic, atmospheric score, Akhnaten portrays a doomed visionary with all his feats and foibles in this tribute to one of the most transformative chapters in Egyptian history. Sung in English, Ancient Egyptian, Biblical Hebrew and Akkadian, with English subtitles.
