Deutsche Oper Berlin

Deutsche Oper Berlin

Sober, yet equally monumental and impressive – this is how the façade of the Deutsche Oper has presented itself since 1961 on Bismarckstraße in Berlin-Charlottenburg. The clarity of the architecture by Fritz Bornemann becomes apparent as soon as you enter the opera house's foyer. Here, visitors are welcomed by spaciousness and elegance, defined by simplicity and reduction. The aesthetic of the auditorium offers excellent acoustic qualities. The wooden wall paneling, the subtle color scheme, and the carefully directed lighting emphasize that at a performance in the Deutsche Oper Berlin, it is the production itself that takes center stage. The opera house has 1,859 seats, was designed without classic boxes, and thus guarantees a good view from all seats.

Staatsoper Unter den Linden

Staatsoper Unter den Linden

In 1742, the Staatsoper Unter den Linden was founded by Frederick the Great and built in the heart of Berlin by Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff. The opera house is distinguished by its unique programming, which spans from Baroque music to the central works of Classical, Romantic, and Modern literature, as well as world premieres of contemporary composers.

Personalities such as Richard Strauss, Erich Kleiber, Wilhelm Furtwängler, Otmar Suitner, and Herbert von Karajan have significantly shaped the opera house, making it one of the most tradition-rich and artistically significant stages in the world. The General Music Director for over twenty years has been Daniel Barenboim, who was appointed conductor for life by the Staatskapelle Berlin in 2000.

After completing essential renovation work from 2010 to 2017 – just in time for the 275th anniversary of this historic institution – the Linden Opera uniquely combines historic spatial dimensions with state-of-the-art technology, securing its position as one of the leading opera houses in Europe.

Komische Oper Berlin
@Schillertheater

Komische Oper Berlin
@Schillertheater

The Komische Oper Berlin has, since the construction of its building on Behrenstraße (opened in 1892 as the Theater Unter den Linden), been an international trailblazer in the field of music theater at various points in time. In the 1920s, it played a major role as the leading operetta and revue theater, significantly shaping the Berlin and thus international entertainment scene. The concept of music theater introduced by Walter Felsenstein revolutionized the entire European opera world after World War II and remains an important point of reference for the vast majority of music theater directors who aim for contemporaneity. This international influence as a pioneer of innovative music theater is reflected in the many artistic careers that began at the Komische Oper Berlin – including directors Götz Friedrich and Harry Kupfer, as well as conductors Otto Klemperer, Kurt Masur, Yakov Kreizberg, and Kirill Petrenko. Due to extensive renovation measures, the Komische Oper Berlin is currently located at Am Schillertheater 1 in Charlottenburg.
