Book 633: The Three-Penny Opera

The Three-Penny Opera, by Bertolt Brecht, opera date 1928.

I'm giving this book five stars because of the opera.  The text is amusing and wry, but you need the music to fully appreciate it.  Fortunately, with Google and Youtube, it is not hard to find sung versions of the songs, including ones by Lotte Lenya (who later turned Bond villain).
