Its songs are legendary and its essentially trivial story about love, betrayal, business and morals underwent an equally insolent and intelligent revision regarding its social criticism: The Dreigroschenoper (Threepenny Opera), premiered at this very theatre in 1928 was an unexpected, world-wide overnight success. “Food first, morals next”, as the famous quote goes – however, a life in prosperity may be comfortable, but it is by no means a guarantee for a good one. Mack the Knife, Peachum and the others are more or less forced to keep their eyes on their own material advantage and to make considerable theatrical efforts to be able to look out for number one and, at the same time, to conceal this very fact. After all: Who wouldn’t prefer to be good?
Barrie Kosky, well-known to the Berlin audience as Principal and Artistic Director of Komische Oper, will create the fifth new production of Dreigroschenoper at this theatre.
"The Threepenny Opera" will be shown with English surtitles at all performances. For the best view of both stage and surtitles, we recommend seats in the stalls (Parkett) from row 11, or in the balconies (1. Rang, 2. Rang). Seats in the side boxes have a partially obstructed view. Our box office staff will be happy to tell you from which seats you will have a good sight-line to the surtitles.
