Inspired by the life of Mahatma Gandhi, the opera Satyagraha is a mystical, magical and revolutionary journey.
This new production, presented by the prize-winning team that brought Philip Glass's Akhnaten and Einstein on the Beach to Adelaide, Satyagraha embraces and celebrates the life of a man who was driven by the search for truth through non-violent means - a concept he named Satyagraha.
Sung in Sanskrit with text from the ancient Bhagavad-Gita episode of the Mahabharata, Satyagraha's powerful and dramatic musical climaxes, coupled with its sensuous lyricism, make this opera a jewel in Philip Glass's output.
Gandhi's effect on the world around him was profound - Einstein said of him "Generations to come will scarce believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood."
