About

Can you imagine the thrill of seeing—for the first time—a newly composed opera in your own time? For every opera that is now a household name, a lucky audience was there at the premiere to witness the very first of thousands of performances. Today you can experience that feeling of discovery at Milan's hallowed La Scala, with the world premiere of a challenging and surprising opera that took the composer eight years to complete: Hungarian composer György Kurtág's Fin de partie.
