Ensemble - Deutsche Oper Berlin

Magdalena  Mitterhofer

Magdalena Mitterhofer

Magdalena Mitterhofer (1994 in Südtirol, Italien) ist Regisseurin und Künstlerin in Berlin.

Ihre Praxis ist häufig kollaborativ und bewegt sich an der Schnittstelle verschiedener künstlerischer Formen, darunter Theater, Film und Zeichnung. In ihren ortsspezifischen Arbeiten erforscht sie die Beziehungen zwischen den umgebenden architektonischen und sozialpolitischen Strukturen sowie den Betrachter*innen. Magdalena erhielt ein Meisterschülerinnen-Diplom in der Klasse von Hito Steyerl an der Universität der Künste Berlin und studierte Neue Medien an der Tama University in Tokio. Seit ihrem Abschluss nahm sie an vielfältigen internationalen Ausstellungsprojekten und Festivals teil. In 2024 wird ihr Debütfilm „Corte“ Premiere feiern.

Magdalena Mitterhofers Kollaborationen mit Shade Théret wurden unter anderem im Tanzquartier Wien, Kunstverein München, Volksbühne Berlin, Longtang Zürich, KW Institut für Zeitgenössische Kunst Berlin, 3hd Festival Berlin, M.I. Glissee Berlin, Centrale Fies IT, Festspiele am Plötzensee und Futura Galerie Prag gezeigt. Seit 2021 produzieren und kuratieren Théret und Mitterhofer Lament.tv, eine ortsspezifische und nomadische Performance- und Videoserie in Berlin.

Adventsverlosung: Das 8. Fensterchen

We are already looking forward to the revival of Rued Langgaard's ANTIKRIST in April 2025, a production that is both musically exuberant and scenically imaginative.

Today, we are giving away two DVDs of this production in Ersan Mondtag's staging in our Advent calendar. If you would like to take part in the draw, please send an e-mail to advent@deutscheoperberlin.de today with the subject line ‘The 8th window’.

The Antichrist makes his entrance into a godless world. Sent by Lucifer into the world, he adopts many guises. Mankind is tested and tempted by pride, lust, lies, despondency and hatred in an “all-against-all altercation”. Langgaard’s opera is suffused with fin de siècle atmosphere and pessimism, warning of catastrophe and denouncing the vices of the modern age: egotism, arrogance, frivolity. Langgaard, though, was also an optimist, convinced of the transformative, transcendental power of art and the importance of music as a thread connecting people to the godhead. So it is that the world is freed of all evil and sorrow in the culminating chorus scene in ANTIKRIST. In the eyes of multi-award-winning director Ersan Mondtag, Langgaard’s opera foretelling a doomsday frenzy is a parable of our own times.

Under the baton of Stephan Zilias, this award-winning production by Ersan Mondtag features Thomas Lehman, Jonas Grundner-Culemann, Valeriia Savinskaia, Irene Roberts, Clemens Bieber, Maire Therese Carmack, Flurina Stucki, AJ Glueckert, Andrew Dickinson, Joel Allison, as well as the chorus and orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin. The performances on 10 and 12 February 2023 were recorded for this DVD. This DVD was awarded the ‘Diamant d'Opéra’ by ‘Opéra Magazine’ in December 2024.

We would like to thank the Naxos label for the great collaboration over the past few years, which includes recordings of DER ZWERG, DAS WUNDER DER HELIANE, FRANCESCA DA RIMINI, DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN, DER SCHATZGRÄBER, DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG and ANTIKRIST. Richard Strauss' ARABELLA and INTERMEZZO will be released in the course of 2025.



Closing date: 8 December 2024. The winners will be informed by email on 9 December 2024. The DVDs will then be sent by post. There is no right of appeal.
