Hedonism, jazz, and chaos collide in ENO’s Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny—starring Danielle de Niese and directed by Olivier nominee Jamie Manton.

Enter Mahagonny—a no-rules desert boomtown built by criminals, where anything goes, and nothing is free. A sharp satire meets opera with a pulse.

Starring Danielle de Niese and directed by 2-time Olivier-nominated Jamie Manton, this ENO production features a stellar cast led by Rosie Aldridge, Kenneth Kellogg, and Mark Le Brocq.

Expect a gritty, surreal staging where consumerism runs wild, and moral collapse takes center stage—an opera that punches well above its weight.

A fusion of opera, jazz, and ragtime, Weill’s iconic Alabama Song (recorded by Bowie & The Doors) fuels the anarchy.

For a limited run at the London Coliseum, this is your rare chance to see Brecht & Weill’s provocative work back on the big stage—book your tickets to Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny in London now!
