The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny

The Teatro Real de Madrid is hosting a new production of Kurt Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny, directed by the Catalan group La Fura dels Baus, that is both powerful and entertaining. It is a mordant parody on capitalism and the relentless industrialisation of a society in which the ultimate guilt is not having enough money, written in the 1930s by Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht and performed in the 1930s.
