Kurt Weill, the German expatriate composer best known for his collaborations with Bertolt Brecht (including Threepenny Opera, “Mack the Knife”), gets the greatest hits treatment in University Opera’s fall production. A Kurt Weill Cabaret will weave together 21 pieces from the broad-ranging Weill catalog, creating a new context for the songs in three themed sections, assembled by director David Ronis. The songs will be sung in English, French or German.
