Satyagraha - Wulfsige-Adams - 23-10-2021
You will not want to miss this, or any of the other incredible shows in the ENO 2021 Season! Satyagraha is composer Philip Glass’s meditation on Gandhi’s early years in South Africa, tracing the progress of his concept of non-violent protest as a positive force for change. First staged in 2007, Phelim McDermott’s highly acclaimed, spectacularly theatrical production is a visual feast.
Glass’s use of repetitive musical structures – ‘minimalism’– creates a mesmerising soundscape, quite unlike traditional operas. ENO's Satyagraha cast and creatives Sean Panikkar, ‘a Gandhi firm of voice and full of charisma’ (LA Times) leads a cast that also features bass-baritone Musa Ngqungwana as Lord Krishna and Harewood Artist William Thomas as Parsi Rustomji. Carolyn Kuan, ‘one of the most exciting and outstanding conductors of her generation’ (Marin Alsop) makes her ENO debut.
