Beschreibung
The second in Glass' trilogy about men who changed the world,
Satyagraha's sub-text is politics. The opera is semi-narrative in form
and 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 first two acts each
contain three scenes; the last is one continuous scene. Each act is
dominated by a single historic figure (non-singing role) overlooking
the action from above: the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore in Act I,
the Russian author Leo Tolstoy in act II, the American civil rights
leader Martin Luther King Jr., in Act III.
