I just saw this on the Met HD broadcast. For this very traditional opera lover, it is already one of my favorites........thanks for posting it. BTW, the NYC opera CD is excellent.
@fire - glass isn't 4 me but this is a great moment in the opera 4 sure. Sanskrit has the wealthy singing of their riches n how the poor will continue 2 suffer n b discriminated 4 their profit. They're in a line seated as peasants come 2 shine their shoes. In gandhis presence the music thematically shifts n while continuing to laugh in the catchy, menacing and yet amusing refrain of "ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!" they suddenly r standing with chairs raised, intimidated by Gandhi it was very clever
This part of the opera was another great moment from yesterday's met production I remember vividly in the hd broadcast. It was hilarious and brilliant at the same time. Loved it!
This is how heaven must sound like :)

musica veramente ...insulsa! Glass deve aver fatto successo per qualche altro motivo che non a causa delle sue qualità artistiche
...certamente!!!
