Le Grand Macabre Ligeti

Loosely based on the Belgian avant-garde dramatist Michel de Ghelderode’s play La balade du grand macabre, Ligeti provocatively branded his adaptation “anti-anti-opera”. Le Grand Macabre presents an extremely bizarre apocalyptic vision of a world gone mad, teeming with characters of such telling names as Nekrotzar, Piet The Pot, Clitoria, Spermando.

Ligeti’s spectacular operatic fresco, set in a fictitious city bearing an equally telling name, Breughelland, not only shocks by featuring harsh, spine-chilling and perverse images, it is also striking in terms of the score, with the musical idiom encompassing conventional instruments, but also giving scope to a large variety of unprecedented sounds, produced by car-horns, electric doorbells, a sledgehammer, an alarm clock, paper bags, a tray full of crockery, a saucepan, a pistol and other items.

Le Grand Macabre had its world premiere in Stockholm in 1978. Later on, Ligeti made considerable revisions to his piece in preparation for a production at the Salzburger Festspiele in 1997. The second version of the “anti-anti-opera” will be staged in Prague by the versatile British director and designer Nigel Lowery. The music will be explored by the conductor Jiří Rožeň, a young Czech rising star.
