What is the threepenna opera?
threepenna opera, Die Dreigroschenoper in German, plays with music. It consists of a prologue and three acts and is attributed to the composer Kurt Weill, playwright Bertolt Brecht and translator Elisabeth Hauptmann, whose version of Opera Beggar's Opera was the foundation of a new work. For the range of sources John Gaye - music works by composers such as Henry Purcell, George Handel and John Eccles - for which he provided new words, Brecht added the poems of the French poet François Villon and the British poet Rudyard Kipling. With the exception of one setting from the gay version, Weill has completely canceled the work. The main roles were played by actors drawn from spoken theater, cabaret and operetta, and Weill's score for 23 instruments would be played by seven person Jazz Band called Lewis Ruth Band. Jenny's role was created by Weill's wife Lotte Lenya.
