The Threepenny Opera
*The Threepenny Opera* (Die Dreigroschenoper) is a 1928 musical by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, a satirical retelling of *The Beggar's Opera* that follows the unrepentant criminal Macheath ("Mack the Knife"), his marriage to Peachum's daughter, and the corruption of London's underworld and establishment, famous for its biting social critique and jazz-influenced score.
