Weill Kurt - The Threepenny Opera - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: One of Bertolt Brecht's best - loved and most performed plays The Threepenny Opera was first staged in 1928 at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm Berlin (now the home of the Berliner Ensemble). Based on the eighteenth - century The Beggar's Opera by John Gay the play is a satire on the bourgeois society of the Weimar Republic but set in a mock - Victorian Soho. With Kurt Weill's music which was one of the earliest and most successful attempts to introduce the jazz idiom into the theatre it became a popular hit throughout the western world. This new edition is published here in John Willett and Ralph Manhein's classic translation with commentary and notes by Anja Hartl.
