Berliner Ensemble

The Berliner Ensemble was a German theatre company established by playwright Bertolt Brecht and his wife Helene Weigel in January 1949. The group performed most of the plays by Brecht, but added some from other dramatists in the 1970s. After Brecht's death, Weigel continued managing the Berliner Ensemble until her death in 1971. The company expanded its selection to that of other European playwrights. In 1992, the Berlin Senate appointed five stage directors to serve as its Intendanten. The Berliner Ensemble was the place where Brecht and Weill created many of their famous collaborations, including Die Dreigroschen Oper (The Threepenny Opera) and Happy End, among others.
