Blitzstein, Marc (1905–64) composer and lyricist. The Philadelphia‐born artist created a furor on Broadway with his propaganda musical
The Cradle Will Rock (1937), which was performed despite strenuous efforts to stop it. Blitzstein himself played the piano at the hurriedly moved performance. In 1949 his opera
Regina, based on
The Little Foxes, was performed on Broadway, but his major claim to fame, however, may be his brilliant translation of the Bertolt Brecht– Kurt Weill work
The Threepenny Opera (1954).
Juno (1959), Blitzstein's musical rendition of
Juno and the Paycock, was a quick failure despite praise for its score. Biography:
