The Threepenny Opera proclaims itself "an opera for beggars," and it was in fact an attempt both to satirize traditional opera and operetta and to create a new kind of musical theater based on the theories of two young German artists, composer Kurt Weill and poet-playwright Bert Brecht. The show opens with a mock-Baroque overture, a nod to Threepenny's source, The Beggar's Opera, a brilliantly successful parody of Handel's operas written by John Gay in 1728. In a brief prologue following the overture, a shabby figure comes onstage with a barrel organ and launches into a song chronicling the crimes of the notorious bandit and womanizer Macheath, "Mack the Knife." The setting is a fair in Soho (London), just before Queen Victoria's coronation. In this production, Weill champion HK Gruber led the Ensemble Modern in a performance of Weill's complete original score, the first time it had been heard in Germany in many years. This production was broadcast on German television (3sat).

Где-то в провинции Германии: около 1930 года у кинорассказчика умирала профессия. Это тем более трагично, что он делает то, что делает со страстью: стареющий мужчина произносит слова к немым фильмам, показываемым вживую, и сопровождает некоторые сцены своей собственной музыкой, играя на скрипке. Но сейчас в порталы кинотеатра «Аполлон» стучится новая эра, и это не означает ничего хорошего для кинематографиста: звуковой фильм требует признания, и это знаменует конец его профессии. Однако для жены Мари, которая никогда не слишком любила жизнь своего мужа в темном царстве мерцающих образов и часто спорит с ним, эта потеря бессмысленна. Владелец кинотеатра Тейльхабер скоро полностью перейдет на звуковое кино и больше не нуждается в киномане, так что старик с мертвой работой скоро будет сидеть на улице. По крайней мере, его гораздо более молодая любовница Марга все еще на его стороне, но она также не может найти сказочнику новую работу.
