Madrid's Teatro Infanta Isabel stages 'The Threepenny Opera

A production of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s ‘The Threepenny Opera’ is being staged at the Teatro Infanta Isabel in Madrid, starring singer Coque Malla. Directed by Mario Vega, the production is supported by private producers and the Pérez Galdós theater in Las Palmas.

The performance aims to capture the satirical and gritty atmosphere of the original work, which explores themes of corruption and the criminal underworld. However, critics have noted a lack of musical texture and the necessary cabaret-style energy required to interpret Weill’s score effectively.
