Biography

Austrian-born Lotte Lenya gave Kurt Weill's music a fiercely modern sensibility, bringing the bittersweet world of The Threepenny Opera to life and forging a bold path from European stages to Broadway.

She later brought her distinctive voice and dramatic intelligence to memorable film and television roles, and her work remains a touchstone for performers seeking daring and depth.
