In EnglishThieving highwaymen, a clandestine marriage, tormented love, and poison cups are all inspiration for Britten’s extraordinary imagination. Our cast of beggars, working in the local laundry in exchange for food and warmth, let you in on their entertainment of the evening, an opera spontaneously created from their surroundings. This host of unique vocal characters … Old Macheath, dastardly Filch, naughty Lucy Lockit, Jenny Diver, the infamous Suky Tawdry, and a host of other characters round out this tale of pirating robbers and ladies of the night.
A ballad opera, all in the name of fun, including a costumed, interactive orchestra and Maestro Muspratt himself on stage!
