Le Grand Macabre

By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Le Grand Macabre (1974-77, revised version 1996) is Gy rgy Ligeti's only opera. The opera has two acts and its libretto - loosely based on the 1934 play, La Balade du grand macabre, by Michel De Ghelderode - was written by Ligeti in collaboration with Michael Meschke. The original libretto was written in German, and the opera has been performed also in Swedish, English, French, Italian and Hungarian. Unlike many operas, this one was written specifically with flexibility of language in mind. Only a few notes need be changed to perform the opera in any of these languages.
