          As so often, the quality of the suggestion surpasses that of the actual answer. Coltrane <sigh>

            Bigger!! Spelling correction:

            An unforgettable last song associates with a flipping singer and a composer who never saw his Prise. Which D?

                spelling noted - was it different first time, I didn't notice

                La Prise de la Bastille ?

                    oops - that was a bad mistake wasn't it

                    Berlioz never saw the first two acts, called La Prise de Troie, of Les Troyens, performed.

                      - the rest should be plain sailing (as Aeneas might have said)!

                        Hmm. "Berlioz never saw the first two acts, later given the name La prise de Troie ['The Capture of Troy'], performed. The first five-act performance of the "complete" Les Troyens, spread over two nights, only took place at Karlsruhe in 1890, 21 years after Berlioz's death."

                        I can't get further...
