by Kurt Weill
Opera in three acts
Libretto by Bertolt Brecht
In 1930, Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht created a new type of grand opera, radical in both entertainment and criticism. With the wit of epic theater, the musical esprit of jarring pub songs and avant-garde music, they created the fable of a paradise city perishing from its own utopias, in which there is only one mortal sin - insolvency. Director Ulrike Schwab examines with a young ensemble who would even dare to dream of a better future today.

Due to the altered stage set-up, this production has restricted visibility in some seats, particularly in the II and III tiers. Scenic actions taking place in the stalls and in the orchestra pit above the stage will be shown on the walls via live video. Please note the notice "partial viewing restrictions" in the webshop. These affected seats are also reduced in price. If you have any questions, please contact the ticket office on 0711 202090 or tickets@staatstheater-stuttgart.de.
