How Do You Like Your Mack?
Are You a Stickler for Original Opera or Fan of the Swing?
From the lens Mack the Knife: Opera that Became a Swingin' Standard.
Whether your a fan of Kurt Weill and opera in general or a devoted lover of swing, or even if you love them both, let me know which you prefer. You can tell me why you love Mack the Knife here, too, or why you don't. And if you do, please share whether you love the song with the Moritat title or the modern version. And of course you can let me know if you don't like either.
This poster is from the 1933 Broadway production of the Three Penny Opera. You can click it and get your very own over at AllPosters. For those of you familiar with the work, is the gent getting his nose tweaked our favorite scoundrel, Mack himself, and is that woman soon to be his victim? Perhaps the young miss should be a bit less forward with strange men!
