The Threepenny Opera
German play with music
This article is about the play. For other uses, see Threepenny Opera.
The Threepenny Opera[a] (Die Dreigroschenoper[diːdʁaɪˈɡʁɔʃn̩ˌʔoːpɐ]) is a German "play with music" by Bertolt Brecht, adapted from a translation by Elisabeth Hauptmann of John Gay's 18th-century English ballad opera, The Beggar's Opera,[1] and four ballads by François Villon, with music by Kurt Weill. Although there is debate as to how much, if any, contribution Hauptmann might have made to the text, Brecht is usually listed as sole author.
The work offers a socialist critique of the capitalist world.[3] It opened on 31 August at Berlin's Theater am Schiffbauerdamm.
With influences from jazz and German dance music, songs from The Threepenny Opera have been widely covered and become standards, most notably "Die Moritat von Mackie Messer" ("The Ballad of Mack the Knife") and "Seeräuberjenny" ("Pirate Jenny").
The Threepenny Opera has been performed in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Russia, Italy, and Hungary. It has also been adapted to film and radio. The German-language version from entered the public domain in the US in [4]

I should put this up on Wikipedia itself but anything I put up there gets deleted. Wikipedia seems to be a subculture of its own with rules that I do not fit
Below is a picture of Gfrerer that shows something I particularly like -- her big smile.
I have watched her in both the Zurich performance of Die Lustige Witwe and in the Moerbisch performance of Der Vogelhaendler -- very different roles but well sung and well acted in both cases.
She turned 50 this year, which means she was born in See! I can do subtraction! She was born in Carinthia in Austria, daughter of an innkeeper, with three sisters, all of whom sang. She now lives in Boston. She updates her Facebook page fairly often. See here. It's mostly in English
Her musical history is extensively covered here. Let me reproduce a marvellous vignette from that:
"In fact, singing is so integral to the Austrian social fabric, that a performer in Austria might find their audience joining in on their performanc
