Ligeti’s «Le Grand Macabre» directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski and conducted by Kent Nagano at the Bavarian State Opera on June 28, July 1, 4 and 7.
Nekrotzar, the eponymous Grand Macabre and self-proclaimed prophet, announces the end of the world to Breughelland. His threats and warnings unleash an orgy of end-time taboo-breaking. The apocalypse, however, fails after Nekrotzar is put under the influence of alcohol and disappears again in disgrace. Death is dead. A colossal «Anti-Opera», as Ligeti himself liked to call his work, and an insane musical challenge for everyone involved.
