Satyagraha Opera Tickets
Enjoy a true opera experience with Satyagraha tickets. Satyagraha, a Sanskrit word meaning truth force, is a 1979 opera in three acts for orchestra, chorus and soloists, composed by Philip Glass, with a libretto by Glass and Constance DeJong. This opera is the second installment of Philip Glass’s Portrait Trilogy, which also includes Einstein on the Beach, Glass’s first endeavor into opera, and Akhnaten. The trilogy spotlights innovators from across history. Glass’s Satyagraha, set to lines from the Hindu Bhagavad Gita, depicts scenes from the life of Mahatma Gandhi as he developed his philosophy of non-violent resistance in South Africa between 1896 and 1913.
Satyagraha is the perfect example of Glass’s minimalist style. The work is scored for two sopranos, two mezzo-sopranos, two tenors, a baritone, two basses, a large SATB (soprano, alto, baritone and bass) chorus, and an orchestra of strings and woodwinds only, no brass or percussion. Principal roles are Sonja Schlesin, Mahatma Gandhi, Hermann Kallenbach and Parsi Rustomji. The opera is presented in three acts, each pointing to a major related cultural figure. Act 1 relates to Leo Tolstoy, Act 2 relates to Rabindranath Tagore with Act 3 dealing with Martin Luther King, Jr. Satyagraha has been performed at major opera venues worldwide.

What are the best seats to see Satyagraha live?
Opera seating choices rely on both financial capabilities and personal viewing preferences. Audience members should choose mid-to-front rows in the center orchestra for the ideal sound and view combination but those who want a grand panoramic perspective should opt for seats in the front mezzanine or balcony. People should choose seats in the middle orchestra or mezzanine for the best acoustic experience because opera houses have sound systems that transmit sound efficiently to these areas. The rear orchestra and balcony sections offer affordable seating choices at the expense of slightly reduced sound quality.
