Live from the Met
Have you every attended one of the Metropolitan Opera’s Live Performances in HD at Silver City? If not, put it on your “to do List” to attend at least one. They are magnificent.
Last Saturday, I attended the rebroadcast of Philip Glass’s Satyagraha. Satyagraha was a sold-out sensation when it had its Met premiere in 2008. It tells the story of Gandhi’s early years in South Africa, where he developed his philosophy of non-violence.
Below is the opening from a 2007 production. The lyrics are all sung in ancient Sanskrit. Glass’s music washes over one. It is an amazing experience! Listen and enjoy . . .
