Summary

The chamber opera Sāvitri by Gustav Holst is an “instructive story about the power of love, which can even conquer death. The characters’ engagement throughout the story in intricate spiritual and philosophical discussions, grounded in Hindu faith, naturally aligns with Holst’s artistic intentions. This book aims to illuminate the complexity of Holst’s chamber opera in its references, meanings, and final musical form.” A. N. Tarkmann
