The Old Fitz Theatre
A Kurt Weill Double Bill of operatic cantata, dance, and theatrical mayhem. The Seven Deadly Sins (Weill/Brecht) sees two sisters hustling their way across America, charming and swindling to make ends meet in any way they can to survive. Mahagonny Songspiel (Weill/Hauptmann/Brecht) is a manic celebration of the fall of a fictitious city, Mahagonny, whose gold façade is nothing but a cover for nausea, vice, and despair. A drunken reverie featuring an unconventional live orchestra with a banjo and a piano on its last legs — a debauched operatic spectacle.
