Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - Mai i tana mahi whakaari nui, ko tana mahi hei "Mackie Messer" ("Mack the Knife") i te whakaaturanga tuatahi o te ao o Bertolt Brecht's "The Threepenny Opera" he mea tino nui. I puta tenei whakaaturanga i te 31 o Akuhata 1928 i te Theater am Schiffbauerdamm. I taua wa, i whakaarohia a Paulsen he kaiwhaiwhai a Brecht. I te tau 1938 ka noho a Harald Paulsen hei kaiwhakahaere mo te Theater am Nollendorfplatz i Berlin, i reira te nuinga o nga opera i whakatangihia i taua wa. I whakahaeretia e ia, i whakatangihia hoki i roto i nga mahi waiata. I akina ia ki te whakarere i tana tūranga i te tau 1945, whai muri i te mutunga o te Pakanga Tuarua o te Ao i Uropi
He aha? I puta hoki a Paulsen hei kaiwhakaari i roto i nga kiriata puku e rua tekau. I haere tonu tana mahi whakaari ki te waa kiriata oro, a, i puta ia i roto i te iwa tekau nga kiriata oro.
