FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Philip Glass Opera at Peterborough Players
The Met: Live in HD’s Satyagraha

Satyagraha is the second in Glass’ trilogy about men who changed the world. Semi-narrative in form, the opera deals with Mahatma Gandhi’s early years in South Africa and his development of non-violent protest into a political tool. (“Satyagraha” is a Sanskrit word meaning “truth force.”) The Met’s production of Satyagraha is visually extravagant, with Richard Croft as Gandhi. Dante Anzolini conducts.
