The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny
Mädchen
1st, 3rd & 5th May 2022
Presented by IOpera and Melbourne Opera, The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny is a satirical opera which premiered in Germany in 1930. A modern-day parable and an attack on excess, the eclectic score also draws inspiration from operetta and the jazz-infused popular music of the roaring ‘20’s. Regularly performed in the great opera houses of the world (including recent revivals at Covent Garden and The Met) its criticism of corruption in a world with increasingly shaky moral foundations, and at war with nature, makes it more relevant than ever. This is the first Australian production in over forty years.
