Lotte Lenya en su opera

Threepenny Opera was based on the famous Beggar’s Opera by John Gay, from 1728, which had been revived in London in 1920. Gay was a friend of Jonathan Swift, who encouraged him to write a "Newgate Opera". A sequel called "Polly" was planned, which officials suppressed by denying the theater company a performance license.
The play's depiction of the collusion between law enforcement, high finance, organized crime and exploitative populist leadership is as telling today as it was 300 years ago.
'The Three Penny Opera', the 'original-cast album', as performed onstage in Germany, recorded 7 December 1930, and reissued during 1962 by Telefunken on long-play disc TH97012.
The selections presented here all feature Lotte Lenya--
1)Seeräuber Jenny;
2)Barbara Song;
3)Zuhalter Ballade, with Willy Trenk-Trebitsch;
4)Moritat & Schluss Choral, with Chorus.
