Why see Rise and Fall of The City of Mahagonny in London?

Experience a riveting production at the London Coliseum as English National Opera stages Brecht and Weill’s satirical masterpiece, Rise and Fall of The City of Mahagonny. This modern opera creates a vivid world where pleasure runs wild and the consequences soon follow. Audiences will find themselves swept into a spectacle that seamlessly blends ragtime, jazz and powerful operatic vocals, all rooted in a story that feels strikingly relevant today.

The creative team and cast

Leading the cast is Danielle de Niese, joined by Rosie Aldridge, Kenneth Kellogg, Mark Le Brocq and more. The production is helmed by Oliver-nominated director Jamie Manton with André de Ridder conducting and vibrant stage designs by Milla Clarke. With English translation by Jeremy Sams, Mahagonny draws you in with humor, heart and chilling insight into the cost of excess and unchecked desire.

What’s special about this opera?

Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s opera rarely appears on the UK stage, making this production a rare treat for fans of the genre and newcomers alike. The score pulses with energy, featuring standout moments like the recognizable Alabama Song, famously covered by The Doors and David Bowie. The staging makes bold use of visual effects, smart choreography and an ensemble cast to explore timeless themes about society and morality.

Story

Rise and Fall of The City of Mahagonny tells the story of three outlaws—Leokadja Begbick, Trinity Moses and Fatty the Bookkeeper—who stumble upon a barren land and build a city dedicated to indulgence. Dreamers and drifters, like Jenny Smith and men seeking fortune, are drawn into Mahagonny where all limits are forgotten. As excess grows, the city faces a reckoning, raising urgent questions about survival and the human cost of hedonism. Every decision comes at a price as loyalty, greed and the search for happiness collide.

Why book your tickets?

This limited-run production at the London Coliseum offers audiences edge-of-your-seat drama, celebrated music and the rare opportunity to see a significant twentieth-century opera with a world-class cast. It’s an ideal show for fans of theatre, opera or those intrigued by inventive storytelling on London’s West End stages.
