Die Dreigroschenoper
Die Dreigroschenoper (The Threepenny Opera) is a famous 1928 musical play by Bertolt Brecht with music by Kurt Weill, a satirical retelling of *The Beggar's Opera* that follows the criminal Macheath ("Mack the Messer") in London's underworld. It critiques capitalism and bourgeois morality and features iconic songs like "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer" (Mack the Knife).
