Comparing The Rake's Progress and The Threepenny Opera

Compared to the first listening to collaboration between The Auden-Kallman / Stravinsky of Threepenny Opera and Brecht / Weill of The Threekeny Opera, progress of The Rake seems to require a lot of imagination for ideas common to the two works I will. The progress of the rake in 1951 was clearly Neoclassical, in particular Mozart, but since the 1928 Three Penny Opera was called "Opera" it was easily called as the predecessor of the Broadway musical. However, cautious research on the origin and motivation of collaborators reveals several surprising coincidence.

Urinetown was inspired by works by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, especially Threepenny Opera. Threepenny Opera changed the shape of old-fashioned opera and operetta and made political view clearer In the 1920s, Berlin's dance band, Cabaret performances, and Urinetown's sound were the most spectacular. From the opening number of the show, the audience was introduced to the oppressed society controlled by the corrupt government, represented by the opera chorus code and lyrics. The show breaks the show through that number, too much exposition imitates others, removes the concept of excessive background knowledge, stings other musicals like the Threepenny opera and the tragic world. The combination of darkness, drama and rough humor of Threepenny Opera is very similar to Urinetown.

The first success of Brecht was Threepenny Opera's play in Berlin in 1928, applying John Gay's Beggar's Opera. Perhaps the best summary is the lyrics of "Bread is first, moral continues" (page 55, Brecht). Threepenny Opera argues in an anti-capitalist statement that it is impossible to rely on subordinate layers of deprivation. People follow social conventions. When capitalists' competition ended in a short period of time, there were no food and evacuation centers. The play criticized German social situation at that time and had direct success. Threepenny Opera went on stage in Berlin for nearly a year, traveled across the German border and played in Moscow, Paris, Warsaw, Prague. After the Nazi regime occupied Germany, Brecht emigrated in 1933. Meanwhile, his play can no longer be performed in his native country.

Brecht adopted Three Penny Opera at John Gay's Pelican Opera House and then experienced the success of 1920 at the Lyric Theater in London. Brecht 's secretary, Elizabeth Hauptmann, read an article about Resurrection and ordered to translate the copy of the play into German. When he was engaged in other projects, she handed the scene to Brecht. After reading the translation, Brecht called a young composer who collaborated with Kurt Weill, another opera, Mahogonny. Producer Ernst Josef Aufricht needs a new job to draw attention to his Berlin center theater, Schneider Damme. Within three months of opening, Brecht, Will, and their friends and family retired to the French Riviera to complete the script. The plot quickly attracted Brecht and Brecht changed that trap - for example, set up this work in Victorian England and changed the marching march from highway to burglary / thief
