Saturday, Feb. 11-Sunday, Feb. 12: "Berlin To Broadway with Kurt Weill"

Theatre on the Square

By Volcano Staff on February 8, 2012

The Tacoma Opera - and more specifically its "Young Artists" - will take you on a musical journey of space in time this weekend, delving into the works of renowned German-Jewish stage composer (and socialist) Kurt Weill.

Weill - who was most active in the 1920s and '30s - is perhaps best known for his collaborations with Bertolt Brecht, including The Threepenny Opera, which will be included in the Tacoma Opera's performances this weekend.

Tacoma Opera will also take on selections from Weill's Lady in the Dark and Street Scene.   

[Theatre on the Square, 8 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday, $30, 915 Broadway, Tacoma, 253.591.5890, broadwaycenter.org]
