[For a complete Dramatis Personae see TPO01.txt] Transcribed using MOZART by Michael Bednarek, May 2003 http://mcmbednarek.tripod.com/ 11. POLLYS LIED The second act opens with a very sad "Virgin's Prayer". The melody is then continued into Nr. 11a MELODRAM which ends with Macheath departing to the repeated words of their duet: "Love will last, or it won't." On stage, there is quite a bit of spoken dialogue, and the order of Nos. 11 and 11a might well be reversed. Some productions follow this with Weill's "Ballade von der sexuellen H”rigkeit" (The Ballad of Sexual Obsession) sung by Mrs. Peachum.
