. . . for Opera Australia's 'Satyagraha in Concert'. Composer Philip Glass, with Shanul Sharma (Tenor) and Rachelle Durkin (Soprano) and Orchestra Victoria.
Your question really made me think about how I felt and responded to Glass' work.
I am not an officionado about his work, in fact I am a latecomer to appreciation of classical and operatic music generally.
I loved Satyagraha in Concert. It was quite mesmerising although at times hard to follow. It is minimalist in its style, sung in Sanskrit, there are no brass or percussion instruments (reflecting its non-violent focus) only strings and woodwinds. Because it is sung in Sanskrit, the focus is on the choral and musical elements rather than the words.
Lovely capture. I haven't been to a theatre since the beginning of Covid and although theatres are back to normal (almost) I am still a bit scared to be in a closed environment full of people.

I am still thinking about it and recalling.
