LA ÓPERA DE LOS TRES CENTAVOS
La ópera de los tres centavos: A Bold Artistic “Menu” at Teatro Cervantes
Immerse yourself in a world of dark satire and social critique this spring in Málaga. As a premier event of the 43rd Theater Festival, the powerhouse collaboration of Barco Pirata, Unahoramenos Producciones, and Teatro Pérez Galdós presents La ópera de los tres centavos. On Wednesday, April 29, 2026, the Teatro Cervantes serves an extraordinary “special menu” of musical parody and fierce anti-capitalist commentary.
A Critical Feast for the Modern Soul
Originally premiering in Berlin in 1928, Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill created this three-act masterpiece to expose the raw machinery of organized crime and economic disparity. The narrative acts as a scathing critique of power, misery, and the darker side of human ambition. Furthermore, this updated version of John Gay’s The Beggar’s Opera remains strikingly relevant today, examining the “organized crime” of economic systems.
An Ensemble of Extraordinary Talent
Under the direction of Mario Vega, the production features a stellar cast led by the acclaimed Coque Malla, who also contributes live guitar and banjo. The “menu” is further enhanced by a diverse group of musicians playing everything from the harmonium and celesta to the saxophone and trombone. Consequently, this performance is not just a play; it is a full sensory experience that blends live music with a narrative that “bites”.
In short, do not miss this chance to witness a landmark of 20th-century theater in the heart of Málaga. Secure your tickets now for an evening of entertainment that is as thought-provoking as it is thrilling.
