About the play 🎶

Based on The Beggar’s Opera by John Gay, this piece originally premiered in Berlin in 1928. Through a prologue and three acts, Brecht uses musical parody to denounce misery and the abuse of power, portraying capitalism as a machine of organized crime. It is an intense artistic proposal that remains as relevant today as it was on the day of its premiere.
