Description

Win a pair of tickets to a performance of West Edge Opera's City of Sin—a special double-bill featuring 2 one-act operas, Mahagonny Songspiel (music by Kurt Weill, libretto by Bertold Brecht) and Vera of Las Vegas (music by Daron Hagen, libretto by Paul Muldoon). Also known as “The Little Mahagonny”, Mahagonny Songspiel was developed from a series of Brecht’s poems and was a precursor to Weill and Brecht’s experimental “epic opera” The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny (1930). Vera of Las Vegas is a contemporary opera centered on two ex-IRA operatives who cross paths with two rogue MI-5 agents and the transvestite Vera inLas Vegas. The music fuses cabaret, 70’s folk-rock, Broadway, and modern classical to create a unique and highly melodic score. A compelling production that promises to delight, move and engage.
