Florentine Opera christened the newly renovated Uihlein Hall Friday evening by scattering litter across the stage.

In a COVID-19 pandemic year of local arts groups navigating safety protocols to perform unusual works in unusual ways, the Florentine s Little Mahagonny might be the unusualest.
Composed by Kurt Weill with words by Bertolt Brecht and Elisabeth Hauptmann, Little Mahagonny (1927) is a six-song cantata about people who light out for a city of gold, only to discover they re miserable there, too. Weill and Brecht later expanded it into the opera The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny. Both versions include The Alabama Song, covered by a zillion people, including The Doors, David Bowie and Bette Midler.
