The Met's visually extravagant production is back for an encore engagement. Richard Croft once again is Gandhi in Philip Glass's unforgettable opera, which the Washington Post calls "a profound and beautiful work of theater".  

Philip Glass's landmark 1980 work, set to text from the ancient Sanskrit scripture the Bhagavad Gita, is a moving account of Mahatma Gandhi's formative experiences in South Africa, which transformed him into a great leader.

The breathtaking production, which critics have called "a work of genius" (Los Angeles Times) and "a transcendent evening of theater" (Variety) returns for seven performances only.  To browse articles, interviews, and videos to learn more about this landmark opera CLICK HERE.
