Thanks for this. I’ve recently got into Kurtag’s music in a big way. I had no idea that he was writing an opera based on Endgame, so I’ll definitely be checking it out (if it ever happens). The only other Beckett related opera I’m aware of is Morton Feldman’s Neither. It’s a great work, although I think you can tell that both Feldman and Beckett hated opera. It lasts just under an hour, making it probably one of Feldman’s shorter works!
Fin de partie: György Kurtág delivers Beckett opera at last
After numerous delays, the veteran avant-gardist unveiled his gruelling and brilliant adaptation at La Scala
