{"product_id":"beggars-opera-1","title":"BEGGAR'S OPERA","description":"Richard Pillbrow and Harold Prince’s production of \"The Beggar’s Opera\" opened September 1968 at the Apollo Theatre in London. Starring Peter Gilmore, James Cossins and Jan Waters, the production was first performed at the Cambridge and Edinburgh Festivals and later for London Weekend Television. The story of Macheath and his band of beggars and thieves (and the basis for Kurt Weill’s more frequently performed \"The Threepenny Opera\"), John Gay’s classic eighteenth century ballad opera still delights audiences centuries later. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e  TRACKS:\u003cbr\u003e  1 THROUGH ALL THE EMPLOYMENTS OF LIFE 4:18 - Peachum and Company\u003cbr\u003e  2 VIRGINS ARE LIKE THE FAIR FLOWERS 1:12 - Polly\u003cbr\u003e  3 OUR POLLY IS A SAD SLUT 0:52 - Mrs. Peachum\u003cbr\u003e  4 CAN LOVE BE CONTROLLED BY ADVICE 0:48 - Polly\u003cbr\u003e  5 POLLY, YOU MIGHT HAVE TOYED AND KISSED 0:57 - Polly and Mrs. Peachum\u003cbr\u003e  6 THE TURTLE THUS WITH PLAINTIVE CRYING 1:22 - Polly\u003cbr\u003e  7 THROUGH ALL THE UNEMPLOYMENTS OF LIFE (Reprise) 0:39 - Company\u003cbr\u003e  8 MY HEART FOREBODES 1:09 - Polly\u003cbr\u003e  9 MY HEART WAS SO FREE 0:21 - Macheath\u003cbr\u003e  10 PRETTY POLLY 0:44 - Macheath and Polly\u003cbr\u003e  11 OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY 1:38 - Macheath and Polly\u003cbr\u003e  12 OH, WHAT A PAIN IT IS TO PART 1:06 - Polly\u003cbr\u003e  13 THE MISER THUS A SHILLING SEES 0:32 - Macheath\u003cbr\u003e  14 FILL EVERY GLASS 2:14 - The Gang\u003cbr\u003e  15 LET US TAKE THE ROAD 1:29 - The Gang\u003cbr\u003e  16 IF THE HEART OF A MAN 1:05 - Macheath\u003cbr\u003e  17 YOUTH’S THE SEASON MADE FOR JOYS 2:14 - Macheath, Jenny and Ladiesv 18 WHEN GOLD IS IN HAND 0:58 - Jenny\u003cbr\u003e  19 BEFORE THE BARN DOOR CROWING 2:39 - Jenny and Ladies\u003cbr\u003e  20 IN PIMPS AND POLITICIANS 2:25 - Peachum and Company\u003cbr\u003e  21 MAN MAY ESCAPE FROM ROPE AND GUN 1:22 - Macheath\u003cbr\u003e  22 HOW CRUEL ARE THE TRAITORS 1:32 - Lucy\u003cbr\u003e  23 WHEN YOU CENSURE THE AGE 2:59 - Peachum and Lockit\u003cbr\u003e  24 HOW HAPPY COULD I BE WITH EITHER 1:06 - Macheath, Polly and Lucy\u003cbr\u003e  25 WHY, HOW NOW, MADAM FLIRT 1:08 - Polly and Lucy\u003cbr\u003e  26 NO POWER ON EARTH CAN ’ERE DIVIDE 2:24 - Polly\u003cbr\u003e  27 WHEN YOUNG IN THE ’FORE 1:19 - Lucy\u003cbr\u003e  28 MY LOVE IS ALL MADNESS AND FOLLY 1:00 - Lucy\u003cbr\u003e  29 GAMESTERS UNITED IN FRIENDSHIP ARE FOUND 1:11 - Lockit\u003cbr\u003e  30 THE MODES OF THE CITY 1:02 - Macheath and Gang\u003cbr\u003e  31 LET US TAKE THE ROAD (Reprise) 1:48 - The Gang\u003cbr\u003e  32 IN THE DAYS OF MY YOUTH 3:32 - Mrs. Diana Trapes\u003cbr\u003e  33 COME SWEET LASS 2:45 - Lucy and Polly\u003cbr\u003e  34 OH, CRUEL, CRUEL, CRUEL COST 1:11 - Macheath\u003cbr\u003e  35 WOULD I MIGHT BE HANGED 1:17 - Polly, Lucy and Macheath\u003cbr\u003e  36 ALL YOU WHO BEHOLD THIS TERRIBLE SIGHT 2:52 - Clergyman and Company\u003cbr\u003e  37 THE RICH OF TODAY MAY BE BEGGARS TOMORROW 1:28 - Company","brand":"Sony Masterworks","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":49735675805976,"sku":"888751155121","price":11.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/4346\/3192\/files\/3162928.jpg?v=1778806712","url":"https:\/\/hbdirect.com\/products\/beggars-opera-1","provider":"HBDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
