LIVE FROM THE PARIS OPERA HOUSE: “SATYAGRAHA” (Hybrid – In-Person at SPB Location and on Zoom)

Friday, April 24, 1:30–5:00 p.m.; Fee: $5

What happens when you trade a traditional biopic for a hypnotic, time-bending musical experience? You get Philip Glass’s “Satyagraha” — a transformative opera that doesn’t just retell history; it vibrates with it.

   “Satyagraha” — Sanskrit for “truth force” — explores the roots of Gandhi’s philosophy through a breathtaking fusion of sound and staging. Across three acts, the music connects the past to the future, drawing lines between Gandhi and three figures who share his ideological DNA. Leo Tolstoy: The philosopher whose correspondence shaped Gandhi’s early thought. Rabindranath Tagore: The poet who championed his global vision. Martin Luther King Jr.: The civil rights leader who weaponized non-violence to change the world.

   Now entering the Paris Opera repertoire, this production by Bobbi Jene Smith and Or Schraiber reimagines the work not as a museum piece, but as a visceral call to action. For them, it’s a “forceful lesson that rings ever more true today”—reminding us that the quest for justice is never a static event, but a living, breathing rhythm.

   This performance will stream live from the Paris Opera House and include English subtitles and two intermissions.

   Instructor: Brenda Leonard has taught classical music related classes and courses at the Center for Modern Aging for many years, works at the Cape May Museum of Fine Arts & Popular Culture, and is a classically trained cellist.
