El Grosso Concerto, opus 58, fue un espectáculo del conjunto de instrumentos informales Les Luthiers en compañía de la Camerata Bariloche. El título, El Grosso Concerto, es en realidad una variación del título de una obra incluida en el espectáculo: el Concerto grosso alla rústica (un verdadero concerto grosso barroco, al estilo de Vivaldi). Esta obra fue compuesta por el compositor ficticio Johann Sebastian Mastropiero, inspirado en un poema del "famoso" poeta ficticio Torcuato Gémini. El título de la obra no tiene nada que ver con la forma musical de que se trata (el concerto grosso barroco), sino a la dedicatoria que le hizo Gemini a una regordeta y tosca doncella del altiplano argentino, a la que iba dedicado el poema. Dicha dedicatoria decía así: "Con certo sentimento d´amore, alla signorina grossa e rústica".

'Muchas Gracias de Nada', is a show premiered on June 15, 1979 at the Coliseo Theater in the City of Buenos Aires by the Argentinean ensemble of informal instruments, Les Luthiers.

La Gallina Dijo Eureka; 7. Trío Op. 115; 8. Cartas de Color; 9. Tango Op. 11. In this show 'Antenor' made its first appearance, an advanced robot (for the time it was built - 1979) that weighed 80 kilos and was equipped with several motors that allowed it to move around the stage, turn its head, etc. The robot caught fire during the last performance of this play (Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico - 1980) in the middle of the stage and before the astonished gaze of all those who were there.

Todo por que rías es un espectáculo realizado por el conjunto de instrumentos informales Les Luthiers, estrenado en el Teatro Astengo de Rosario, Argentina el 3 de junio de 1999, y representado por última vez el 8 de agosto de 2005 en el Auditorio Alfredo Kraus, de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, España. De nuevo aprovechan el título del espectáculo para hacer un juego de palabras (Todo por que rías/Todo porquerías), como es costumbre en el grupo argentino.
