Join us for a special Mother’s Day weekend live event in collaboration with our friends at Glimmerglass Festival!
Religion and capitalism collide in this sharp, jazz-infused musical comedy by Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht, and Elisabeth Hauptmann. Banned after just two performances in 1929 Berlin, "Happy End" is a satire of big business and big religion set in a smoky speakeasy where gangsters do deals and the Salvation Army saves souls.
Run time: 75 minutes, no intermission.
"Happy End" is music directed by Rob Ainsley, artistic and general director of The Glimmerglass Festival; is directed by Mary Birnbaum, general and artistic director of Opera Saratoga; and features Ana Karneža, an award-winning Juilliard drama graduate.
