This Elmer Rice's Pulitzer Price-winning play had been already used by
King Vidor (1931) to make a movie.

  In 1947 Kurt Weill combined his music with Rice's book and Langston Hughes
Lyrics creating an excellent 20th Century American Opera: "Street Scene".


In Street Scene, the action takes place on a sidewalk, in the exterior of
one of the poorer quarters of New York City.  An evening of soffocating
heat . . .

I would like reading some comments about this Kurt Weill' Opera.

Thanks in advance.
