Peter Kazaras, director
Stephen Karr, conductor

A shocking success ever since its Berlin premiere in 1928, Brecht and Weill's 3pennyopera gets a new production with a decidedly LA twist. Come follow the exploits of antihero Macheath as he gets in and out of trouble with louche lowlife! Is he a rat, or merely trying to put together a deal? Come hear such classics as "Mack the Knife" and "Pirate Jenny," performed in their original jazz band orchestrations. 3pennyopera will be performed in English.
