The Threepenny Opera


Event details

29 April 2026 until 29 April 2026

In The Threepenny Opera Bertolt Brecht aims to denounce prostitution, poverty, and abuse of power during an economic crisis: the play premiered in Berlin in 1928, a turbulent time (the end of the 1920s). Brecht's text is a fierce critique of capitalism. To do this, the author presents an updated revision of the musical parody The Beggar's Opera by Englishman John Gay, and shows the world the rawest version of this economic system which he considers to function like a large machine of organized crime.
