Der Kuhhandel, Kurt Weill: Komische Oper Berlin

演出简介

The Komische Oper Berlin presents a concert version of Kurt Weill’s operetta about the links between grand‐scale politics and private lives. Der Kuhhandel is a satire in the style of Offenbach at his best.

At its centre is a cow. She is the pride and joy, and financial life insurance, of Juan and Juanita, who are about to be married. But the political situation on the idyllic Caribbean island where they live takes a turn for the worse, thus ruining the couple’s wedding plans: an arms dealer sows dissent in order to drive his business up. New taxes are to pay for the arms race. The cow has to be sold…

In German, with German, English, French, and Turkish subtitles.
