"Mac the Knife" originates from the musical "The Threepenny Opera," composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht. The opera premiered in 1928 and is a modern adaptation of John Gay's 18th-century work, "The Beggar's Opera." The song itself is sung by the character Macheath, a charming yet ruthless criminal, and has since become a jazz standard.
