En ella los dos ministros del país imaginario Brueghelandia se dedican insultos cada vez comenzando por una letra del abecedario (este tipo de juegos fonéticos le gustaban mucho a Ligeti).

Ligeti has identified additional influences for Le Grand Macabre, however. Art, literature, and other forms of theater are critical components of Ligeti’s vision for the opera, although not in the Wagnerian sense of the Gesamtkunstwerk. In fact, Ligeti detests this label and its associated pretension. Perhaps to emphasize the comedic and sublime aspect of the opera, Ligeti draws on the Tin-tin comics of Hergé, pop art, the Marx Brothers, cinema cartoons, and Charlie Chaplin. For example, the alphabetic tirade of insults in scene 3 (“Muckraker! “Mealy- mouth!” “Nancy-boy!” “Nincompoop!”) is inspired by the outrageous insults of Tin-tin’s Captain Haddock, which include such monstrosities as “Troglodyte!”, “Ophicleide!”, and “”Visigoth!”
