Fin de Partie is the first opera composed by György Kurtág, in which he composed music for selected scenes from Samuel Beckett's play Fin de Partie.

Once again, Kurtág drew on his incredible knowledge of music history: Monteverdi's influence can be traced in the relationship between text and music, Mussorgsky's in the creation of dramatic power and atmosphere, Debussy's in the French declamation, and late Verdi's in the comic elements. Fin de partie took seven years to compose, and the performers spent two years preparing for the premiere.
