Guided Tours

Visit the Backstage and the Front of House areas of Berlins smallest opera house as it prepares to open its doors for the evening performance.

»Don Giovanni«

Ingenious Mozart. Peter Konwitschny presents the activities of the famous seducer as a finale. In a world defined by rationalism and (insincere) morality, there is no more room for the libertine life philosophy of someone like Don Giovanni.

Following the extraordinary success of Barrie Kosky’s 2003 production, Ligeti’s mad “Dance of Death”, a masterpiece of 20th century opera, is back in the schedule of the Komische Oper Berlin

»Orpheus«

“A performance of such rapturous, fantastic, colourful vitality that it snatches away the fog from your ears and eyes, and you experience nothing less than the birth of theatre.” [Die Zeit]

»The Abduction from the Seraglio«

Hard-core Mozart. Calixto Bieito presents womankind as the object of male passions and desires, right up to the brutal dismemberment of the female body.
