Wikipedia: Salvador Dalí is the only painter to have written a libretto for a surreal opera poem, Être Dieu, a reflection on the nature of God. He wrote it in 1927 together with Federico García Lorca. Dalí had the opera recorded in Paris in 1974. Igor Wakhevitch wrote the music and the Spanish writer Manuel Vázquez Montalbán put the text down on paper in agreement with the artist.
