Angesagte Weltuntergänge finden in der Regel nicht statt. Mit seiner einzigen Oper Le Grand Macabre gelang György Ligeti ein großes und diskursives Welttheater, in dem die ungeschminkte Conditio humana mit all ihren Trieben und Schwächen nichts weniger als eine bevorstehende Apokalypse zu Fall bringt: In ein imaginäres, korruptes Schlaraffenland – das »verfressene, versoffene und verhurte« Breughelland – platzt eines Tages der Tod alias Nekrotzar alias der dämonische Große Makabre, um die unmittelbare Zerstörung der Welt und der frivolen Menschheit zu verkünden. Durch die ihm unbekannten Gelüste des Lebens verführt und überwältigt, stirbt am Ende aber ausschließlich Nekrotzar selbst. Alle anderen gelangen zur Moral, dass ihr vorläufiges Überleben zur Beibehaltung des bis dahin geführten Lebenswandels genutzt werden sollte.

Prophesied armageddons generally disappoint. In his only opera, Le Grand Macabre, György Ligeti created a large, discursive world theatre in which the plain, unvarnished human condition with all its drives and weaknesses is the cause of nothing less than an impending apocalypse. Into an imaginary, corrupt land of milk and honey – Breughelland, a vision of gluttony, drunkenness and lechery – Death arrives one day, otherwise known as Nekrotzar or the demonic Grand Macabre, to announce the impending destruction of the world and frivolous humanity. However, seduced by the pleasures of life, which he is unfamiliar with, the only person to die at the end is Nekrotzar himself. Everyone else draws the conclusion that their temporary survival should be used to continue their previous lifestyle.
