‘Beckett has been waiting for Kurtág all this time,’ wrote The New Yorker after the triumphant La Scala premiere of György Kurtág’s Endgame (Fin de partie) in 2018. Subsequently named one of the greatest operas of the century by The Guardian, Kurtág’s ‘unforgettable’ adaption of Samuel Beckett’s absurdist play has its highly anticipated UK premiere. The ±«Óãtv Scottish Symphony Orchestra is led by its Chief Conductor Ryan Wigglesworth.
