[PAR] [TLE] The Threepenny Opera [SEP] The Threepenny Opera (Die Dreigroschenoper ) is a "play with music" by Bertolt Brecht and Elisabeth Hauptmann, adapted from John Gay's 18th-century English ballad opera, "The Beggar's Opera", with music by Kurt Weill and insertion ballads by François Villon and Rudyard Kipling.  Although Hauptmann produced 80 to 90 percent of the text, Brecht suppressed this and assumed sole credit, and is usually listed as sole author in printed versions. [PAR] [TLE] The Beggar's Opera [SEP] The Beggar's Opera is a ballad opera in three acts written in 1728 by John Gay with music arranged by Johann Christoph Pepusch.  It is one of the watershed plays in Augustan drama and is the only example of the once thriving genre of satirical ballad opera to remain popular today.  Ballad operas were satiric musical plays that used some of the conventions of opera, but without recitative.  The lyrics of the airs in the piece are set to popular broadsheet ballads, opera arias, church hymns and folk tunes of the time.
