German composer Kurt Weill’s 1947 Broadway musical “Street Scene,” a look at sultry summertime life in the Big Apple slums, is slated to open tonight at the English National Opera in London. American soprano Kristine Ciesinksi sings the role of the doomed wife, English bass Richard Van Allan is her vengeful husband and Janis Kelly, a Scot, is their daughter. Both Ciesinski and Kelly appeared in the production’s British premiere at the Scottish Opera in Glasgow in May. That was the first professional British production of the work. “Street Scene” will play in repertory with such ENO operatic warhorses as Verdi’s “A Masked Ball” and Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly.”
