In thirties Germany the collaborative works of Kurt Weill and Berthold Brecht invited a hostile reception from the increasingly dominant Nazi party and led both men to be placed on a wanted list, causing them to flee their native country. "One must treat a composer like Weill with distrust, especially when he, as a Jew, allows himself to use a German opera stage for his un-German purposes," wrote one Nazi sympathiser. Today Donald Macleod looks at the difficult but fruitful partnership between Kurt Weill and Berthold Brecht.
