Madison Opera Present THE THREEPENNY OPERA, 2/4
Madison Opera will present Kurt Weill's THE THREEPENNY OPERA February 4 - 13, 2011.
THE THREEPENNY OPERA follows the travails of the notorious criminal Macheath as he navigates a world of beggars, thieves, and prostitutes in Victorian London. With music deeply rooted in jazz and Viennese operetta, Weill's provocative setting of Bertol Brecht's gritty drama has enchanted audiences for the last century. American Players Theatre favorites James DeVita and Tracy Michelle Arnold make their Madison Opera debuts as Macheath and Jenny Diver in this company premiere. With such memorable numbers as "The Ballad of Mack the Knife" and "Pirate Jenny," this new production, led by conductor John DeMain and stage director Dorothy Danner, is sure to leave its mark.
Conductor: John DeMain
Stage Director: Dorothy Danner
Sung in English. Tickets are $20 - $64.
