Die Dreigroschenoper
The Dreigroschenoper (The Threepenny Opera) is a 1928 satirical musical play by Bertolt Brecht with music by Kurt Weill, based on John Gay's "The Beggar's Opera." It follows the anti-hero Macheath, a London criminal, in a darkly comic critique of capitalism and bourgeois society, and features the famous song "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer" ("Mack the Knife").
