STAGE TUBE: NY Philharmonic Le Grand FlipCam Series

Singers Renée Tatum and Jennifer Black discuss working with Alan Gilbert in the New York Philharmonics fully-staged production of Ligeti's "Le Grand Macabre."

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.
