Bertolt Brecht's The Rise And Fall Of The City Of Mahagonny presents a biting satirical opera that critiques the excesses of capitalism and the pursuit of pleasure. This dramatic work chronicles the establishment and eventual collapse of a fictional city founded on the principles of unrestrained indulgence and profit. The narrative illustrates the moral decay that accompanies a society devoid of genuine human connection and ethical boundaries. Through sharp dialogue and provocative scenarios, Brecht argues against the commodification of life and the illusion of freedom found in material wealth, offering a powerful commentary on societal values.
