Le Grand Macabre has arrived on the stage of Avery Fisher Hall! The "monstrance" is mounted, and rehearsals on stage are underway for the May 27-29 performances. Principal Percussion Chris Lamb shows off some new toys featured in Ligeti's score, ranging from car horns to paper bags, in "Percussionist's Glory."

In one of the signature events of the New York cultural season, Alan Gilbert and the Philharmonic give the much-anticipated, fully-staged New York premiere of György Ligeti's satirical "anti-anti-opera."

Meet Gepopo, Prince Go-Go, Piet the Pot, and their fellow inhabitants of Brueghelland, who've just been told by the devil that the world ends at midnight. In a carnival-like kaleidoscope of sight and sound, Ligeti (whose Atmosphères and other music is heard in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey) tells their story with some of the most strikingly brilliant music he ever composed.
