Opera | Screening of Philip Glass's Satyagraha: Modern Opera in a Park


Satyagraha ("insistence on truth") is a 1979 opera by the revolutionary American composer Philip Glass.

The work forms the second part of Glass's "Portrait Trilogy" of operas about men who changed the world, which also includes Einstein on the Beach and Akhnaten. This is a screening of an HD recording of the Met Opera 2011 production directed by Phelim McDermott. It features towering puppets and striking tableaux created with everyday materials such as newspaper and corrugated tin. Tenor Richard Croft gives a moving performance as Gandhi.
