I have never been a huge follower of Philip Glass (never got that far!) but
he gets mentioned often in relation to 313 music. I didn't realise he
composed opera until I saw something in the program of the Melbourne
International Arts Fest - an opera Akhnaten inspired by the 'forgotten'
Pharaoh (fans of Egptology will know his significance) with elements of
dance. It's performed by the State Opera of South Australia. I guess I am
not a huge opera fan - I only like it if it's being deployed by the Wu-Tang
or someone as a texture in epic bangin' hip-hop but I may go as it sounds
interesting.
Anyone able to give a rundown of key Glass works?
