Endgame, game over. With four characters. Hamm and his servants Clov. Hamm’s parents Nagg and Nell. A play with rules, rituals, memories, and words. Words that are sung, which has only been rarely done with Samuel Beckett’s texts. György Kurtág’s opera Fin de partie is the only full-length setting of one of his plays.

The Hungarian composer was fascinated by Beckett’s Endgame, which premiered in Paris in 1957, for more than half a century.

Runtime: Sun, 12/01/2025 to Sun, 02/02/2025
