La Scala to unveil first opera by master composer Kurtag, 92
MILAN, Italy — Milan’s famous La Scala on Thursday hosts the world premiere of the first opera by 92-year-old Gyorgy Kurtag, considered one of the greatest living classical composers.More than seven years in the making, “Endgame” is based on Irish writer Samuel Beckett’s play of the same name, regarded as a seminal work of absurdist theatre.Italian music critic Enrico Girardi hailed the modern opera as a “masterpiece destined to rewrite the history of contemporary music”.Kurtag said he had been profoundly marked by the one-act play about blind paraplegic Hamm, his legless parents who live in a bin, and his servant Clov who is unable to sit down.“I was lucky enough to have seen (Endgame) several months after its world premiere.
