LULU A THOUGHT

I spent an interesting afternoon at the Met this today watching composer/librettest Alban Berg's final opera LULU and I thought that it was fascinating if not particularly stimulating.
Berg was working on the third act of his opera when he died. The unfinished version premiered in 1937 at the Zurich Opera,but was not completed until 1977 by the composer Friedrich Cerha. It premiered at the Met in 1979 and has been performed there sporadicly ever since, but I found this tale of a a young girl of the streets rather rough going, especially with Berg's atonal defiantly unmelodic score.
LULU is fascinating and never boring, but for one member of the audience it was a cold and uninvolving work, but worth looking at again.
