Exhibition György Kurtág Segni, giochi, messaggi 21 ottobre – 25 novembre 2018

Teatro Alla Scala

Teatro Alla Scala
Milan, Italy

"György Kurtág, whose compositions left an indelible mark on the development of
twentieth-century music, had never written an opera. At least, not until he had
turned ninety. Applying his bare, concentrated, intensely expressive style to
Samuel Beckett’s 1957 classic, the scope of this composition goes beyond the
world of music, extending also to the territories of theatre and literature.
The world premiere “Samuel Beckett, Fin de Partie” will be conducted by Markus
Stenz and directed by Pierre Audi, who makes his début at La Scala with this
production. Engaging in an extraordinary work that lingers on the minimal
nuances of text and music, the cast includes Frode Olsen, Leigh Melrose, Hilary
Summers and Leonardo Cortellazzi. The exhibition at the Theatrical Museum, with
the curatorship of Heidy Zimmermann, Cecilia Balestra and Franco Pulcini,
offers the opportunity to delve into the figure of the composer and his work."
