The Threepenny Opera (2023)

Written in 1928, “The Threepenny Opera” is a biting satire of the post-war rise of capitalism, wrapped up in Kurt Weill’s jazzy score, and the tale of Macheath, a debonair crime lord on the verge of turning his illegal empire into a legitimate business. Songs from “Threepenny” have become classic standards, including “Pirate Jenny” and most notably, “Mack the Knife,” which has been covered by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Michael Buble.

Based on John Gay’s “The Beggar’s Opera”

Written by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill in collaboration with Elisabeth Hauptmann.

Directed by Annette Thornton and Kevin Wines
