 The Threepenny Opera -  Sydney Theatre Company and Asteron present a Malthouse Melbourne and Victorian Opera production, 4-24 September 2011.

I had the pleasure of seeing this production on Saturday night. I was bowled over.  It was a cross between Opera, Musical Hall and the Circus of Horrors.
This is set in Sydney which, with Underbelly and other beliefs and stories of the criminal side to Sydney, the mere mention of The Cross brings to mind the seedy and the whore houses and helps build the mood of the performance.
