Due to the growing concerns surrounding COVID-19, all remaining performances of ‘The Threepenny Opera’ are cancelled. The safety of our audience, students and staff is always our top priority and, in the context of the escalating risk, we are taking steps to protect our community.
A story of beggars, thieves, whores and reality.
Written by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill in collaboration with Elisabeth Hauptmann in a new adaptation by Simon Stephens. Directed by Michael Oakley.
“You are about to hear an opera for beggars. Since this opera was intended to be as splendid as only beggars can imagine, and yet cheap enough for beggars to be able to watch, it is called the Threepenny Opera.”
