Written by playwright Bertolt Brecht with music by Kurt Weill, The Threepenny Opera opened in Berlin in 1928, serving as a biting critique of capitalism and the bourgeoisie. Strongly influenced by the jazz and German dance music in favor at the time, The Threepenny Opera has produced numerous popular songs, most notably “The Ballad of Mack the Knife,” which has famously been recorded by the likes of Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, and Ella Fitzgerald.
