Thanks for that, Hari. For me, your review was edifying as well as beautifully
written. I always thought of Three Penny Opera and Mahagonny as emblematic of
the Weimar Republic where German capitalism moved from crisis to crisis, and
German society was conflicted between powerful forces of revolution and
reaction. I thought the characters and story of both served as metaphors for
the degradation of capitalist society.
Decades ago, I had an English-language recording of Mahagonny, which was a
favorite of mine that somehow did not make it through all my moves across the
US. I'd love to at least find the English-language libretto of that work since
it's so relevant today where we know that "there's more gold to be found in
men's pockets than buried in the ground." Or something like that. I don't
have it anymore.
