'You can rob a bank or you can rob people with a bank'. Born of anger, poverty and economic catastrophe, Brecht and Weill’s twentieth-century masterpiece The Threepenny Opera is as relevant to the twenty-first-century Crunch as it was the 1929 Crash. What happens when the poorest of the poor decide enough is enough? Sung in the original German.

The Royal Academy does the Threepenny Opera

David Karlin, 19th May

A handful of times in operatic history, a composer has thrown away the rule book and produced a work which defies categorisation because it simply isn't like anything else in the repertoire. Kurt Weill's Die Dreigroschenoper is one such work: musically and dramatically, neither Weill himself or anyone else has ever written anything remotely similar.
