Since its premiere on 2 June 1937 in Zurich Alban Bergs second opera Lulu has the reputation of being surrounded by scandals On the one hand this is due to the dubious character of the subject the maneating femme fatale which Berg had taken from Frank Wedekinds two Lulu tragedies The Earth Spirit and Pandoras Box and combined into one opera libretto On the other hand Bergs window had for personal reasons repeatedly refused to have the opera completed which was unfinished when Berg died This video is of the unfinished twoact torso of Lulu
