The Threepenny Opera

Autor: Bertolt Brecht , Kurt Weill

Número de Páginas: 153

One of Bertolt Brecht's best-loved and most performed plays, The Threepenny Opera was first staged in 1928 at the Theater am Schiffbauerdamm, Berlin (now the home of the Berliner Ensemble). Based on the eighteenth-century The Beggar's Opera by John Gay, the play is a satire on the bourgeois society of the Weimar Republic, but set in a mock-Victorian Soho. With Kurt Weill's music, which was one of the earliest and most successful attempts to introduce the jazz idiom into the theatre, it became a popular hit throughout the western world. This new edition is published here in John Willett and Ralph Manhein's classic translation with commentary and notes by Anja Hartl.

Die Dreigroschenoper

Autor: Bertolt Brecht

Número de Páginas: 132

Brecht zielt mit der Dreigroschenoper auf die Entlarvung der korrupten Bourgeoisie. Auf der einen Seite erscheint der Bettlerkönig Peachum als Musterbeispiel des Geschäftemachers, für den Not und Armut nichts anderes sind als Mittel zum Zweck; auf der anderen Seite entpuppt sich der skrupellose Verbrecher Mackie Messer als Prototyp sogenannter bürgerlicher Solidität. Peachum mobilisiert die Bettlermassen, organisiert eine Demonstration des Elends und droht, den Krönungszug zu stören, falls der korrupte Polizeichef Tiger-Brown sich weigern sollte, Mackie Messer zu verhaften, der Peachums Kreise störte.

Escritos sobre teatro

Autor: Bertolt Brecht

Número de Páginas: 345

Esta selección de escritos sobre el teatro de Bertolt Brecht reúne en un volumen textos del autor surgidos principalmente en sus años de exilio, entre 1933 y 1947. En ellos Brecht discute sus teorías sobre el teatro épico, la dramática no aristotélica, sus conceptos sobre la técnica del actor, la función de la escenografía o el papel de la música en el teatro y el cine. Alejado en gran medida de la participación directa en el trabajo teatral, Brecht por un lado recuerda las innovaciones de sus grandes éxitos de la década de los veinte, por el otro intenta fijarlas teóricamente para que puedan ser transmitidas a públicos nuevos, a estudiosos futuros. Es interesante ver cómo vuelve una y otra vez a los debates de esos años eufóricos, a los montajes precursores de colegas como Reinhardt, Jessner, Piscator, Engel y otros, a la colaboración con actores, músicos y autores coetáneos como Helene Weigel, Kurt Weill o Bronnen. Brecht se había convertido después del enorme éxito de su Ópera de tres peniques, en 1928, en una de las figuras clave del teatro vanguardista de la República de Weimar, y en estos textos del exilio reflexiona sobre los éxitos, las...

Ópera y drama

Autor: Richard Wagner

Número de Páginas: 304

Tras los acontecimientos revolucionarios que tuvieron lugar en Dresde en la primavera de 1849, Wagner se vio forzado a exiliarse en Zurich. En esta ciudad suiza, entre los meses de octubre de 1850 y enero de 1851 , llevó a cabo la redacción de la que está considerada como la obra clave de su pensamiento teórico-musical: Ópera y drama. A lo largo de las tres partes en que se articula, el genial alemán lleva a cabo una sopesada exposición de las ideas que, a su juicio, debían sostener cualquier creación operística que realmente se considerase tal: la unión íntima de texto y melodía; el problema de las arias como elementos de distorsión de la unidad del discurso musical; la importancia de los motivos musicales a la hora de dotar de coherencia y sentido pleno a la obra... Testimonio de la importancia que concedía Wagner a este texto, en el que no escatima ataques a la producción contemporánea, encarnada especialmente en la figura de Meyerbeer, son las palabras con las que, tras concluirlo, se lo presentó a Theodor Uhlig: «Aquí tienes mi testamento, ahora puedo morir». Obra fundamental para entender en su justa medida el significado y la transcendencia del drama...

Mother Courage and Her Children

Autor: Bertolt Brecht

Número de Páginas: 137

This new Student Edition, featuring the classic John Willett translation of the play, includes an introduction by Katherine Hollander, which explores the following: * Contexts (Thirty Years War, 1618-1648; World War II and exile; sources; influential figures such as Brecht, Margarete Steffin, Helene Weigel and Karin Michaelis) * Themes (war; nature; capitalism) * Dramatic devices (epic theatre) * Production history and critical reception * Academic debate (Marxist, feminist and postmodernist) * Further study Widely regarded as Brecht's best work, Mother Courage and her Children was written in 1938-9 and received its premiere in Zurich in 1941. Mother Courage - a canteen woman serving with the Swedish Army during the Thirty Years War (1618-48) - follows the armies, selling provisions and liquor to the troops. Both her sons die in the war and her dumb daughter, Kattrin, is mortally wounded as she beats a drum to warn the town of Halle of an impending attack. Yet, all the while, Mother Courage continues her travels with her wagon, indomitably businesslike, calculating how she can make material profit from the war and turn conflict into capital.
