Lady in the Dark - Schedule, Program & Tickets
Lady in the Dark
In German language
Burnout leads successful businesswoman Liza Elliott to seek help from psychoanalysis. Between chamber drama and musical opulence, a work was created in 1941, the focus of which is a woman who despairs of the restrictive judgments of those around her. Kurt Weill's musically and dramaturgically exceptional piece Lady in the Dark combines two opposite poles: the world of the greatest possible introspection, psychoanalysis, and that of maximum superficiality, the fashion industry.
Kurt Weill's work is retrospectively divided into two central, style-defining periods: the "European Weill", who wrote theater history as the composer of Bertolt Brecht's The Threepenny Opera, and the "American Weill", who, after emigrating, continued to develop his work on Broadway in the musical genre. Premiered in 1941, the work creates opulent musical sequences from chamber play-like scenes and offers Liza Elliott, a prime role for a “leading lady” who stands for both social and personal emancipation.
