Lulú is an opera of the early twentieth century, written by Alban Berg. It was released without finishing and its complete version dates back to 1979. It is a rupturist and daring work that tells the story of Lulú, a voluptuous and uninhibited woman who after seducing and falling in love with countless men, ends up murdered in the streets of London. Angel or demon, is an enigmatic creature in which men project their own fantasies, alien to the passion that awakens in others.

.
Lulú is based on two works by Frank Wedekind that had great importance for the “crazy twenties” Germans, the spirit of the earth and Pandora’s box, the latter the most famous and also taken to the movies by Pabst in 1929. The duality present in these two stories – of the woman as a spirit and as a prostitute – is key to Berg’s work, especially in this opera.
