The Threepenny Opera (1931 Film)
''The Threepenny Opera'' () is a 1931 German musical film directed by G. W. Pabst. Produced by Seymour Nebenzal's Nero-Film for Tobis Film, Tonbild-Syndikat AG (Tobis Film, Tobis), Berlin and Warner Bros. Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures GmbH, Berlin, the film is loosely based on the 1928 musical theatre success The Threepenny Opera, of the same name by Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill. As was usual in the early sound film era, Pabst also directed a French language, French-language version of the film, ''L'Opéra de quat'sous'', with some variation of plot details (the French title literally translates as "the fourpenny opera"). A planned English version went unproduced. The two existing versions were released on home video by The Criterion Collection. ''The Threepenny Opera'' differs in significant respects from the play and the internal timeline is somewhat vague. The whole of society is presented as corrupt in one form or another. Only some of the songs from the play are used, in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tales From The Vienna Woods
"Tales from the Vienna Woods" (, occasionally ) is a waltz by Johann Strauss II. Composed in 1868, , Op. 325, was one of six Viennese waltzes by Johann Strauss II which featured a virtuoso part for zither. The title of Strauss' dance recalls the folk music of the inhabitants of the Vienna Woods. Composition notes The waltz's introduction is one of the longest he ever wrote for a waltz, 119 bars in the musical score. It starts in C major, intertwining with F major before gaining ascendancy in volume and mood, finishing with a long pause. The second part is in the key of G major, with a solo violin incorporating material which appears again in successive waltz sections. A short flute cadenza evoking birdsong comes in, and moves on to the zither solo, marked ''moderato''. The zither part involves two sub-sections of its own; the slowish ländler tempo and its more vigorous counterpart, with the direction of ''vivace'' (quickly). If a zither is unavailable, a string qua ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Saint Joan Of The Stockyards
''Saint Joan of the Stockyards'' () is a play written by the German modernist playwright Bertolt Brecht between 1929 and 1931, after the success of his musical ''The Threepenny Opera'' and during the period of his radical experimental work with the ''Lehrstücke''. It is based on the musical that he co-authored with Elisabeth Hauptmann, '' Happy End'' (1929). In this version of the story of Joan of Arc, Brecht transforms her into "Joan Dark", a member of the "Black Straw Hats" (a Salvation Army-like group) in 20th-century Chicago. The play charts Joan's battle with Pierpont Mauler, the unctuous owner of a meat-packing plant. Like her namesake, Joan is a doomed woman, a martyr and (initially, at least) an innocent in a world of strike-breakers, fat cats, and penniless workers. Like many of Brecht's plays it is laced with humor and songs as part of its epic dramaturgical structure and deals with the theme of emancipation from material suffering and exploitation. The environment of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hauptmann's sources included, among others, ''Major Barbara.'' The première took place in Berlin on 2 September 1929.

Brecht tried to take credit for the whole work but Hauptmann ensured that the truth was known. The original production was not well received. There were reports that cast member He ...
