About this event

Written in the wake of The Threepenny Opera’s success, the iconic Weimar-era German theatre piece, collaborators Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill wrote experimental chamber opera The Yes Sayer to enable both performer and audience alike to interrogate their complicity within political regimes. The Yes Sayer blends striking music with strong performances and deep moral questions. 

Director – Ariela Morgenstern
Music Director – Marie Louise Catsalis

Please Note: This piece will be political in nature, immersive by design, and touch on themes of immigration, justice, and fascism.
