The Rake’s Progress
6.9/10
The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny
A hard-hitting new production of Kurt Weill’s Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny by the Catalan collective La Fura dels Baus at the Teatro Real de Madrid. Composed in the 1930s by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, this is a mordant satire on capitalism and the inexorable industrialisation of a society in which the ultimate crime is not having money. In twenty scenes the authors tell the story of a city lost in the middle of a desert and run by three thugs; in Mahagonny food, sex, gambling and violence rule supreme.
Janáček: Kátja Kabanová (Wiener Staatsoper Live)
Performance of Janacek's opera performed/streamed live in Vienna on April 27th, 2017.
