Uploaded by GreggaryPeccary on Jan 11, 2009
Opera in two acts, based on La balade du Grand Macabre by Michel de Ghelderode.
First picture: Set in imaginary Breughelland. A lesbian couple is making love in a graveyard as the drunk Piet vom Faß appears and watches them hornily. Suddenly Nekrotzar, death personified (or just a charlatan?) appears and announces the end of the world. Piet becomes his servant and Nekrotzar rides off on his back.

But it's much more enjoyable to think of them as lesbians, no?

@CarricThura Tsss Parsifal....

@flammesombres Well, some people believe that is the reason for pants roles. It gave opera goers a chance to see two women together (not to mention that in the 1700s/1800s), seeing a woman wearing tight pants was pretty unheard of in real life.)

@CarricThura Don't forget Rosenkavalier also is very horny at the beginning...

En lugar de Le grand Macabre debería titularse L'Effroyable Imposture, es decir, El gran Timo ...

For me,Le Grand Macabre is Ligeti at his best-the invention never dips and the piece contains some of his most moving music.
This car horn prelude sounds so much more exciting here than in the Salonen recording-(more immediate recording and slower tempo perhaps?)

enough with the carhorns! Why does every opera have to start with carhorns? Cosi, Traviata, all of them. Lohengrin is the only Wagner opera that doesn't start with carhorns. Time to move on already.

The couple making love in the first scene aren't lesbians - one of the women is playing a man. In opera, we call this a "trouser role."
