Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht - Die Dreigroschenoper (Frankfurter Oper, Wolfgang Rennert)

"The Threepenny Opera"  is everything but an opera, the music produces distance and not identification, feelings are represented but not experienced, and the staginess of the story prevents direct identification.

This recording of the "Treepenny Opera" by Brecht and Weill was made in the Studio of the Municipal Theatre, Frankfurt am Main, after a performance in the same theatre in 1966. The chorus and the orchestra of the Frankfurter Oper were conducted by Wolfgang Rennert, Harry Buckwitz was the producer.

Franz Kutschera, Karin Hübner and Hans Korte played the Beggar King Peachum, his daughter Polly and the thief MacHeath (Mackie Messer).
