Ein Stück mit Musik in einem Vorspiel und acht Bildernvon Bertolt Brecht (1898 – 1956)nach John Gays „The Beggar’s Opera“übersetzt aus dem Englischen von Eli...

In the THREE PENNY OPERA, society sinks into poverty, mass unemployment, crime and prostitution. Only those who master the game of corruption get ahead in life. Jonathan Peachum has perfected this art: he acts as the moral apostle, at the same time he has built a beggar empire and earns his living with the guilty conscience of others. In just a few minutes, he turns every individual into a pitiful "cripple" - of course, 50% of all income goes to Peachum himself. The unscrupulous gangster boss MackieMesser, who knows his way around London's underworld almost better than London's brothels, is also successful, and also the police chief Tiger Brown fully on his side through bribes. However, when the crook marries Polly, Peachum's daughter,

Brecht's "Beggar's Opera" with the music specially composed for it by Kurt Weill became an overnight worldwide success that continues to this day. That's hardly surprising, because the motto that Peachum and Mackie Messer live by still applies to many today: "First comes the food, then comes the morals."
