How long did it take Glass to compose the opera Satyagraha?

bmrsnr

The New Grove Dictionary of Music indicates that he began writing the opera in 1976. "Shortly after a 1976 performance of Einstein on the Beach in Amsterdam, Glass was asked by Hans de Roo, the director of the Netherlands Opera, to write a ‘real’ opera, meaning one for orchestra and chorus with soloists trained and practised in the singing of traditional operas. Glass responded with the two-hour Satyagraha, his second opera about an important historical figure" The opera premiered in 5 September 1980. Sadly, as New Grove is a subscription based service, the following link will be no good for most of you. http://www.oxfordmusiconline.com.ezproxy2.library.arizona.edu/subscriber/article/grove/music/O002837?q=Satyagraha&search=quick&pos=1&_start=1#firsthit Jul 02 09, 10:56 PM
