According to
Le Monde, the French National Library has unearthed a little-performed opera based on Samuel Beckett's
Krapp's Last Tape. Alas, the music, by Beckett's friend Marcel Mihalovici (1898-1985), is, according to
Le Monde's critic, "entirely mediocre," a rather uninspired example of 1960s modern atonality, and a bitch (
vacherie) to play.
