The Beggar’s Opera
Langbeschreibung
Mr. and Mrs. Peachum are horrified when they learn of their daughter Polly's secret marriage to the rebellious and notorious highwayman, Macheath. However, their fear is soon mitigated when they decide to kill him for his money. When Macheath is in the tavern, surrounded by women of 'ill repute', he discovers that he has been rumbled: two of these women are in cahoots with the Peachums and plan to kill him.
John Gay (b. Barnstaple, Devon, 1685) was an English poet and playwright. Hugely successful in his own time, he is now best remembered for The Beggar's Opera (1928), a ballad opera satirizing the then Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole. The Beggar's Opera, and its sequel Polly, earned Gay fame, infamy and a healthy fortune. After his death at the age of47, he was buried in Westminster Abbey.
