@bonniewayfarer You're welcome, Bonniewayfarer. Yep, Polly Peachum and Lucy Lockit. The song they sing is "Hither, Dear Husband, Turn Your Eyes" (Air 52). Lockit sings "You'll Think ere Many Days Ensue" (Air 32). Macheath sings his medley of songs, starting with "Oh, Cruel, Cruel Case" (Air 58). Google Books has the book of the opera, with lyrics, online.
@bonniewayfarer Glad to help. By the way, this version of "Beggar's Opera" is finally available on DVD, nicely remastered - it looks great. I highly recommend it.
thanks a lot for putting this up i am working on this scene at uni, but the task is to make it into a contemporary musical scene by changing the music etc... and it has been very helpful to watch!
I kind of doubt it, Poldark - the copyright owners would probably be a bit concerned if it showed up in its entirety on Youtube. Glad you liked the excerpt, though.
I am so thankful to you for uploading this. I'm playing Macheath in a production of The Beggar's Opera andhave been DYING to see Olivier's take on it.
The two girls are Lucy and Polly, aren't they?
Anybody knows what is the name of this song? 'Cause I want to look for the lyrics, but I don't know which is it.
Thank you!
Oh, I think this part is great, I love Macheath's and Polly's duett - Over the hills...
Thanks for Ponto
Bonnie
