Did Alan Berg compose both Lulu and Giulio Cesare?
Lulu (opera) Lulu (composed from 1929–1935, premièred incomplete in 1937 and complete in 1979) is an opera in three acts by Alban Berg. The German-language libretto was adapted by Berg himself from Frank Wedekind's two "Lulu" plays, "Erdgeist" ("Earth Spirit", 1895) and "Die Büchse der Pandora" ("Pandora's Box", 1904). Berg died before completing the third and final act, and in the following decades, the opera was typically performed incomplete. Since its publication in 1979, however, the Friedrich Cerha orchestration has become popular. Theodor W. Adorno wrote "The opera "Lulu" is one of those works that reveals the extent of its quality the longer and more deeply one immerses oneself in it."
Cesare Galeotti Cesare Galeotti (5 June 1872, Pietrasanta - 19 February 1929, Paris) was an Italian composer, conductor, and concert pianist. He is best known for his opera "Anton" which he conducted at its highly lauded premiere at La Scala on 17 February 1900. His other opera "Dorisse" premiered at La Monnaie in Brussels on 18 April 1910 under the baton of Sylvain Dupuis and with mezzo-soprano Claire Croiza performing as Alays. In addition to writing operas, he also composed a considerable amount of symphonic music.
