THE THREEPENNY OPERA Runs Feb. 28-March 10

CCM_logoTHE THREEPENNY OPERA
Presented by UC College-Conservatory of Music
Feb. 28-March 10
University Heights

Reviews: Enquirer | Talkin’ Broadway | CityBeat |

Directed by Robin Guarino
Music directed by Roger Grodsky
Choreographed by Patti James

Adapted from an eighteenth-century ballad opera by John Gay, The Threepenny Opera offers a Marxist critique of the capitalist world. Set in an anachronistic Victorian London, The Threepenny Opera is a work of epic theatre, challenging conventional notions of property and theatre. Part satire, part shock effects, part aesthetic innovation, part moral indictment and part sheer theatrical diversion, it asks a still-relevant question: “Who is the bigger criminal: the man who robs a bank or the man who founds one?” Deeply influenced by jazz, its opening lament, “Mack the Knife,” has become a standard recorded by Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darin, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Michael Bublé and countless others. Since its opening, The Threepenny Opera has been translated into 18 languages and performed more than 10,000 times. Mature subject matter.
