Richard Croft as Gandhi

From the Metropolitan Opera The Sanskrit word “satyagraha” means Truth Force. In Philip Glass’ opera with that title, performed at the Met in 2011, it represents Mahatma Gandhi’s intellectual and spiritual journey toward the idea that oppression is best fought by love and peaceful resistance, not by violence. In this opera, we see Gandhi as a young attorney fighting discrimination in South Africa. The Met’s production quotes from the Bhagavad Gita, the central writing of the Hindu religion. Richard Croft portrays Gandhi; other historical figures projected onstage include novelist Leo Tolstoy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who was heavily influenced by Gandhi’s ideas.

Claire Huangci

New From the Ravinia Festival We’re very pleased to collaborate with the Ravinia Festival on a series of newly recorded performances of one-hour recitals, dedicated to the memory of the late Stephen R. Smoot, Ravinia’s longtime artistic producer and director of artist immigration. Pianist Claire Huangci’s program centers around the BeethovenLiszt Pastoral Symphony, which she performed late last year at Beethoven festivals in Germany. We’ll also hear the Cavani String Quartet, which since 1984 has toured the U.S. with special music-poetry programs. Their Ravinia program, in addition to Beethoven’s Op. 135 Quartet, will include music written for them by American composer Charles Washington, and music by the African-American jazz-classical artist Eric Gould. Thursdays, January 21 and 28, 8:00 pm

Leontyne Price

From the Metropolitan Opera In January 1961, audiences at the Met were treated to a double debut of some note. The performance of Verdi’s Il Trovatore featured soprano Leontyne Price in the role of Leonora and tenor Franco Corelli in the title role of Manrico, the troubadour. Both singers would go on to become regular and much-beloved Metropolitan Opera artists. The legendary New York Times music critic Harold C. Schonberg called Miss Price “a beautiful singer,” noted that “when Mr. Corelli lets loose, he can dominate the ensemble.” The production also starred baritone Robert Merrill in the role of Count di Luna, Manrico’s rival for the hand of Leonora.

René Pape

From the Metropolitan Opera Gounod’s Faust, a perennial favorite among French operas, was given a new production at the Metropolitan Opera in 2011, updating the action from 16th-century Germany to Germany between World War I and World War II, with the title character represented as a nuclear scientist working on the atom bomb. Tenor Jonas Kaufmann portrays Faust; bass-baritone René Pape plays the devil, Mephistopheles; and Russianborn soprano Marina Poplavskaya sings the role of the naïve Marguerite. The conductor was Yannick NezetSeguin, now the Met’s music director. Saturday, January 30 12:00 pm
