La Fura dels Baus, the Catalan ‘total theatre’ company that famously created the opening ceremony for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, makes its ENO debut with a production of the darkly comical masterpiece of the late György Ligeti.
With its outrageous cross-gender casting and wildly virtuosic (often erotic) vocal writing, Le Grand Macabre is a crazy surrealist farce set in a fantasy world, that laughs in the face of death and points the moral: eat, drink and make love, for who knows when the world might end. ENO gave the work’s UK premiere in 1982 and now proudly presents the composer’s 1996 revision with an international cast conducted by the Company’s Olivier Award-winning Music Director, Edward Gardner.
