The juxtaposition of these two works by contemporaries Francis Poulenc and Kurt Weill highlights two major artistic movements of the first half of the 20th century — surrealism and expressionism. The texts for these compositions are taken from two poet-playwrights, each towering proponents of these styles – Guilliaume Apollinaire of surrealism and Bertolt Brecht of expressionism. Both operas offer sardonic and poignant commentaries on modern society.
