La Commedia

Album by Louis Andriessen

La Commedia is a 2008 opera by Dutch composer Louis Andriessen. The work combines Andriessen's post-minimalist, rhythmically driven orchestral language with extended choral and vocal forces and stark, often dissonant sonorities, representing a late-career large-scale operatic statement that engages with historical literary material within contemporary classical music.
