Columbia University School of the Arts presents The Threepenny Opera, a directing thesis production by current student Benjamin Viertel

A thrilling reinvention of Die Dreigroschenoper, known more commonly as "The Threepenny Opera", set in the heart of New York City’s underground club scene. This audacious contemporary adaptation by Leah Plante-Wiener transforms Brecht and Weill's classic critique of capitalism into a modern, hilarious, and brutally honest work for our times. With a fresh re-orchestration by Nate Weida inspired by EDM and house music, the production promises an exhilarating blend of sharp wit, sultry allure, and raw intensity. Don’t miss this chance to experience a legendary tale of morality, deception, and survival redefined for today’s brutal, fragile, and amoral world.
