Neither is the only opera by Morton Feldman, dating from 1977.[1] Its libretto is a 16-line poem by Samuel Beckett.[2] Composer and librettist had met in Berlin two years earlier with plans for a collaboration for Rome Opera. However, Beckett told Feldman that he himself did not like opera.[3] Feldman had echoed Beckett’s sentiment,[4] so that the work emerged in Rome as a setting for soprano soloist only, accompanied by orchestra.[5] It could theoretically be termed a “monodrama”; however, given the creators’ disdain for opera, the label “anti-opera” fits better.
