On 4 November 2023, after a three-year break, the Deutsche Oper Berlin will once again open its doors for the 27th Festive Opera Gala in aid of the German AIDS Foundation. As one of the most important charity events in the German capital, the Festive Opera Gala has become an indispensable part of Berlin's cultural life, both artistically and socially.

Experience opera enjoyment at the highest level, in glamorous conviviality and hosted by the celebrated opera star Rolando Villazón. Together with the chorus, children's chorus and orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, top-class interpreters - including Saioa Hernández, Misha Kiria, Maria Kataeva, SeokJong Baek and Nils Wanderer - under the musical direction of Andrea Sanguineti will offer versatile and moving insights into the world of opera. The ticket price includes drinks and a delicious after-show menu in the foyers. The stage will even be open for the after-show party, with star DJ Felix Jaehn.

From the proceeds of the gala concert, the German AIDS Foundation supports projects in Berlin, Germany and around the world.
