Wagner weltweit

"Wagner Worldwide" is a multi-perspective music theatre production for one singer and a scalable orchestra, in which global networks and personal emotional entanglements with political events come together in one place: the evening news studio. "Wagner Worldwide" brings to the stage how the activities of the internationally active paramilitary Russian mercenary group Wagner are connected to the mythologies staged by Richard Wagner.

IMMMERMEEEHR - world premiere on 16 November 2024

Children write opera

Gordon Kampe and Maria Milisavljević create music theatre for children aged eight and up. The main roles are played by the children's chorus and five child soloists from its ranks, complemented by four adult solos and seven musicians. With this world premiere, we are continuing our successful work on building up a repertoire in the field of music theatre for children and young people. The result is a piece in which, in a professional, contemporary production, children sing and act on stage for children of the same age in the audience in a play whose content was developed in a participatory process together with the director Franziska Seeberg.

Ab in den Ring! - World premiere on 28 February 2025

Wagner fresh on the table

The collective tutti d*amore consists of a director, a mezzo-soprano and two tenors. The name is a nod to the Italian operatic tradition, but in a clichéd way: it is untranslatable, the kind of rubbish Italian that sometimes occurs in the German version of Italo pop. The "Amore", or love of music, takes centre stage and they have agreed on certain goals in their six-year collaboration: Oper*etta for everyone is their motto. And they want it to be colourful, wild and highly professional ... tutti d*amore put their own spin on Oscar Straus' DIE LUSTIGEN NIBELUNGEN - and create an operetta spectacle.

Chamber music in the Tischlerei

Tischlereikonzerte

The selection of works and the dramaturgical conception of the Tischlereikonzerte are in the hands of the musicians of the orchestra. They are inspired by the new productions or revivals of the opera programme to create stimulating themes and unusual programmes that are unparalleled in their musical range in Berlin. From solo violin to songs to percussion ensembles, from Josquin Desprez to Mozart's "Ein musikalischer Spaß", Dvořák's "American String Quartet" to Shostakovich, Cage and Xenakis, everything is heard in the special atmosphere of the Tischlerei.

Chamber Music I - 23 October 2024 | Foyer

The young gaze

Graduates of music academies who have enjoyed outstanding training as soloists are given the opportunity to familiarise themselves with an extraordinarily large opera repertoire at the Orchestra Academy. However, the cultivation of chamber music is also of great importance. That is why one concert in the orchestra's chamber music series is organised by the academy members each season. You can look forward to an individual evening that they organise together with their mentors.

Chamber Music II - 26 November 2024

Emperor, King.... Composer

This chamber concert takes our premiere of Verdi's MACBETH as a thematic opportunity to shed light on power and power relations over the centuries and to look at composing in their field of tension. Experience a journey through time from Bach's "Musical Offering" to Haydn's "Emperor Quartet" and socialist realism.

In tempore belli

Chamber Music IV - 12 March 2025

Spotlights

Once again this season, an unusual and personal programme will be created under the title "Spotlights": musicians from the orchestra will play works that are particularly close to their hearts.

Chamber Music V - 10 April 2025

Against forgetfulness

In words, photos and music, the musicians of the orchestra remember Paul Feher, Theo Front, Berthold Goldschmidt and Hilde Reiss, former employees of the opera who were expelled by the National Socialists from 1933 onwards. Margarita Broich reads from personal documents. Works by Béla Bártok, Berthold Goldschmidt and Viktor Ullmann will be performed.

Jazz, Jazz, Jazz

The Big Band of the Deutsche Oper Berlin and its "little sister", the JazzCombo, have long since established their own tradition at the house. In addition to the established Jazz & Lyrics series and two large concerts on the main stage, the fifth festival will take place in spring.

Blue Note Records

Founded by Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, two German-Jewish emigrants in New York in 1939, the jazz label, which was named after the famous Blue Note of swing, jazz and blues, quickly gained significant importance. This is because the crème de la crème of jazz musicians were all over the recording studios. Experience the greatest hits of "hot jazz" and "boogie-woogie". Speeches between the various songs and standards will introduce you to the players, the era and the musicians.

Blame It on the Bossa Nova

They are located somewhere between Adenauer and riots, between staid bourgeoisie and bikini, between sauerbraten and a yearning for Italy: The hits of the 60s. Some of the hits will certainly make you wistful, others will make you smile. Combined with short stories by Elke Heidenreich, the musicians invite you to a nostalgic evening in the Tischlerei.

Synaesthesia and jazz

Hearing colours, tasting sounds: This evening focuses on artists whose sensory perceptions function differently to those of most people and who were able to draw enormous creative potential from this. The musicians around Rüdiger Ruppert and Sebastian Krol certainly don't just look at Johann Wolfgang Goethe or Stevie Wonder.

Adventskalender im Foyer: Das 12. Fensterchen

Today in the foyer: ‘The Snow Queen’ as a live audio play
A reading with Burkhard Ulrich and Fanny Frohnmeyer, with Lukas Zeuner on the drums
5:00 p.m. / Parkettfoyer
Duration: approx. 25 minutes / Free admission


‘Behold! Now we begin. When we reach the end of the story, we will know more than we do now, because it was an evil goblin! It was one of the very worst, it was the devil! One day he was in a good mood because he had made a mirror that had the property of making everything good and beautiful reflected in it shrink to almost nothing, but what was no good and looked bad was emphasised and became even worse. The most magnificent landscapes looked like overcooked spinach in it, and the best people became disgusting or stood on their heads without a torso,’ so begins the fairy tale “The Snow Queen” by Hans Christian Andersen.

By an unfortunate accident, a splinter of this evil magic mirror jumps into Kay's heart , whereupon he suddenly finds life in his small town quite awful and lets himself be taken by the nasty Snow Queen to the far north. But Kay's friend Gerda sets out to save her best friend. With the help of a crow and a reindeer, she eventually finds her way to the cold north of Lapland and, with the true power of friendship and laughter, she is able to free Kay from the clutches of the Snow Queen.

Today, in the foyer, the tenor Burkhard Ulrich and the director of our Junge Deutsche Oper Fanny Frohnmeyer read this touching and wonderful fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen for all fairy tale fans, old and young! And our percussionist Lukas Zeuner provides the sound for the story with marimbas, a xylophone and all kinds of rhythm and sound instruments. And all this live and very close to the audience, next to the large fir tree in the parquet foyer.
