Even in the corona situation, the presence of experimental and social music theater is still alive and well, with various online performances. The changes in his works before and after his exile led to the \u201ctwo Weills\u201d controversy, and there was also the background of the Cold War. Now the focus is on the continuity as well as the \u201cdifference\u201d and \u201cdivision\u201d in his works between the German and American periods. This issue is also an acute problem in the understanding of performances of Weill\u2019s musical theater.<br \/>\nIn this presentation, I would like to consider the issue of continuity and fragmentation in the aesthetics of operas and musicals from the perspective of Weill studies, focusing on the following three points :<br \/>\n1. The \u201ctwo Weills\u201d controversy as a restarting point<br \/>\n2. Opera and musicals in Weill\u2019s own music theory<br \/>\n3. Musicals and Brecht\u2019s theory<\/li>\n<li>Profile of Presenter :<br \/>\nMisako Ohta is an associate professor of the Graduate School of Human Development and Environment, Division of Human Expression, at Kobe University.
