The chamber opera Clavigo is based on Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s homonymous play (Clavigo. Ein Trauerspiel, 1774). It was promoted by the Péter Eötvös Contemporary Music Foundation and supported by Kunststiftung NRW and Collegium Hungaricum Berlin, to celebrate the 275th anniversary of the birth of J.W. Goethe and the 250th anniversary of the publication of his play. The opera was premiered at the Budapest Music Center on December 7, 2024, and a second performance took place in Berlin at the Collegium Hungaricum on December 9.

The four acts of the drama were set to music by four different composers, selected by the Péter Eötvös Foundation: Elias Frisk (1st act), Aurélie Ferrière (2nd act), Daniel Lee Chappell (3rd act) and Daniele Di Virgilio (4th act).
