In May 2010, Alan Gilbert collaborated with the director Doug Fitch on György Ligeti’s »Le Grand Macabre« in New York. The press was full of praise and the performance went down in history as a milestone of modern musical theatre.

»»An exhilarating success, a brilliant performance of Ligeti’s daunting score and a disarming production.««

The New York Times on the New York production

Ligeti’s music was a focus at the Hamburg International Music Festival 2019, and as part of that the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra under Alan Gilbert brought to Hamburg a version specially adapted for the Elbphilharmonie.

The work is »an opera about the existential crisis in the modern world, about finding meaning in life – with all its nonsense and craziness«, argues Alan Gilbert. Ligeti’s opera is one of the world’s most-performed contemporary operas.
