metopera.org streaming this week ... look for Philip Glass

Philip Glass's Satyagraha

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, I was watching one opera from metopera.org every night. 

I couldn't keep up the pace. 

Now I try to watch at least 15 minutes a day. 

The bar is pretty low, now.

This week there are two of Philip Glass's operas.  I haven't seen Satyagra yet, so I will try to see all of it, and at least some of everything else.
