The Beggar's Opera (Penguin Classics) (Taschenbuch) von John Gay Synopsis: First played in 1728, "the Beggar's Opera" is a mock-pastoral ballad opera largely set in Newgate Prison. It is a mixture of political satire and travesty of fashionable Italian opera using old English and Scottish songs and airs. It is the story of Captain (Mac the Knife) Macheath, highwayman and carefree winner of woman's hearts, who conquers Polly, the daughter of Peachum, a fence who turns an honest penny by informing against his clients. Peachum is so enraged that he grasses on Macheath and has him committed to Newgate. here, Lucy,the daughter of the jailer falls in love with Macheath and there follows a spirited conflict between Polly and Lucy. In spite of her jealousy, Lucy procures the escape of Macheath and all live (more or less) happily ever after. Rezensionen ansehen...   Angebote zu  Beggar ,  Opera ,  Penguin  ab 1 Euro!
