I sette peccati capitali by Weill, mer 27 apr 2022, Da (2022/2022), Direttore d'orchestra Simon Rattle, Barbican Centre, Londra, Regno Unito

Beat the commute at this Half Six Fix concert, with Sir Simon Rattle, Magdalena Kožená and Kurt Weill’s Seven Deadly Sins. Pride is for the wealthy – if you want to succeed, you put it aside and give them what they want. When time are tough, there’s only one way to get ahead; Bertolt Brecht knew that back in 1933, and Kurt Weill set it to music that stings, even through every fabulously memorable tune. This is The Seven Deadly Sins, born in the dying days of Weimar Berlin, premiered in Paris and yet somehow just as urgent right here in London in 2022. Magdalena Kožená sings Weill’s insidiously catchy melodies, music that evokes a world of satire, sleaze and naked self-indulgence. Social comment has never been so shamelessly entertaining.
