OMM is proud to announce the availability of Philip Glass’s opera Satyagraha performed by the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus under the direction of Dante Anzolini, with Richard Croft as Gandhi leading a stellar cast in a depiction of Gandhi’s years in South Africa during which he developed all his tools for social transformation through non-violence.

This new DVD (Region Code 0 – Worldwide) was recorded during the 2011 production of Glass’s opera as part of the Met Opera’s Live in HD Series. The DVD features a 24-page colour booklet with photos from the production as well as bonus interviews with Philip Glass, the co-director of the opera Julian Crouch, members from the Skills Ensemble, and the chorus master Donald Palumbo. There are also subtitles in English, German, French, and Spanish, since the opera itself is sung in Sanskrit and much of the text is visually projected onto the scenery.
