The Threepenny Opera

Folkoperan & Stockholm City Theatre

The Threepenny Opera's socially critical message leaves no one untouched. This is the opera of the poor. In Magnus Lindman’s new translation of Brecht’s text, there is grit and decadence, but we also experience the beauty of the music closer than ever.

The musical direction is led by Jonas Nydesjö. The cast includes actors, opera singers, burlesque artists, guest choirs, and an opera orchestra.
