New for 2025/26. Consumerism meets hedonism in ENO’s alluring new production of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht’s rarely performed and frighteningly relevant tale: Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny.
Set in the doomed City of Mahagonny, this thought-provoking opera dissects humanity’s endless pursuit of satisfaction at any price, where greed, pleasure and moral decay collide with devastating consequences.
With its bold melodies, biting satire and a story that resonates more than ever, this unique production offers a powerful exploration of what happens when desires know no bounds.
