Description

Opera on Screen: Featuring the world's most celebrated operas.

Music: Kurt Weill (1900-1950)

John Fulljames presents a new production of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s furiously impassioned satire on consumerism, starring Anne Sofie von Otter, Willard White and Christine Rice. The richly varied, jazz-infused score, influenced by ragtime music, includes the irresistible "Alabama Song" and many dramatic ensembles.

Performed live on March 24, 2015 at the Royal Opera House. Includes two intermissions.

Tickets: $16 (Members: $12, $10, Free)
