Lulu is an opera in three acts by the composer Alban Berg, who died before completing the final act. First performed as an incomplete work in 1937, it was later completed by the Austrian composer Friedrich Cerha and received its full premiere in 1979.

Considered to be one of the seminal operas of the twentieth century, Berg’s score creates a unique sound world that combines his lyrical gifts with powerful orchestral writing. A gritty exploration of sexual desire, it follows the downfall of the enigmatic Lulu, who shatters the lives of her many lovers as well as her own.

Libretto by the composer, based on the plays Earth Spirit and Pandora’s Box by Frank Wedekind
