Kurt Weill & Bertolt Brecht: Rise and Fall of The City of Mahagonny

  • English National Opera Saint Martin's Lane London, England, WC2N 4ES United Kingdom (map)

Where everything has a price

New for 2025/26. Consumerism meets hedonism in ENO’s alluring new production of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht’s rarely performed and frighteningly relevant tale of satisfaction at any price.

Overview

Enter the City of Mahagonny, where the pleasure is all yours – if you’re willing to pay for it. Lose yourself in a desert boomtown built on the foundations of greed and moral corruption.

Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny tells the story of three criminals on the run who find Mahagonny, a city of gold. In a place where absolutely anything goes, everything is permitted and the rules are, there are no rules. The question is, who will get out alive?

In this performance, Peter Edge will sing baritone in the Chorus.
