Kurt Weill and Bert Brecht
In the early 30s the music of Kurt Weill for The Threepenny Opera and for Mahagonny had an exciting appeal. In the 60s the writer Brecht is more noted and quoted. Talking about the works of collaboration and introducing the music is Michael Geliot, who produced The Rise and Fall of Mahagonny at the Sadler's Wells Theatre and is about to direct another work of this early period during the Edinburgh Festival: Happy End.
