Opera SATYAGRAHA by Philip Glass

Satyagraha
Gandhi’s search for truth in a spectacular staging
25 Feb - 26 Mar (9 performances)

One of the most visually spectacular stagings of recent decades, ENO’s hit production of Philip Glass’s Satyagraha broke all Company records for contemporary opera when it premiered and then went on to enjoy huge success at the Metropolitan Opera, New York. It now makes a much-anticipated return to the London Coliseum.

Instilled with a breathtaking theatrical flair by Improbable’s award-winning director-designer partnership of Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch, Glass’s masterpiece is a mesmerising and hauntingly beautiful meditation upon Mahatma Gandhi’s early years in South Africa and his spiritual progress towards the concept of non-violent protest. For this revival, Alan Oke reprises his compelling performance as the young political activist whose beliefs will go on to change the course of history.
