Film: The Threepenny Opera

Tickets: $8

1931, directed by G. W. Pabst

An adaptation of the Kurt Weill–Bertolt Brecht stage work by Ladislaus Vajda, Béla Belázs and others. Famously disowned by Brecht, this classic of the early sound era was filmed not long after the play itself premiered. Lotte Lenya, a member of the original 1928 stage cast (and Kurt Weill’s wife), plays Jenny. In German, with English subtitles. 112 minutes.

Once again, Bard SummerScape is pleased to present all titles on 35mm film (whenever possible).
