Sing along! ... The Generation Chorus of the Deutsche Oper Berlin is looking for choristers
In the Generation Chorus, people of different ages and backgrounds sing together. Grandparents bring their grandchildren and the grandchildren bring their grandparents. Here, the neighbour brings his neighbour. And even people who come alone find connection with others here. The repertoire is cross-genre and is made up of what the singers bring with them: These can be folk songs, pop, hip-hop, folk, hits and much more. The stories of the different generations are reflected in them and told together. The chorus rehearsals are extended with music, dance and theatre workshops ... Rehearsals will take place weekly from 28 November 2022, always on Mondays, from 3.15 p.m. to 4.45 p.m.
To eavesdrop and participate for young children in May 2023 in the Tischlerei

Opera for young and old: The Magic Flute
In its mixture of Viennese folk theatre, Masonic mystery and fairy tale, this opera is probably the most performed in the German-speaking world and, in Günter Krämer's colourful, highly visual production, a favourite of our audiences ... In the 2022/23 season, too, you can expect numerous generational performances. Just take a look at our play list!
Presentations on 8 and 9 July 2023 / Tischlerei
From the idea to the premiere: six months of creativity in the children's and youth club
From January 2023, the Children's Club [9-12 years] will explore everything on the theme of happiness on Wednesdays from 4.30 - 6.30 pm and the Youth Club [13-18 years] on Thursdays from 5 - 8 pm. Under the guidance of artists and educators, the children and young people can experience how individual and collective ideas can be transformed into a concrete production. The young participants get to know all the phases of a music theatre production in a practical way - from the first conceptual discussion to the final round of applause in the carpenter's workshop. Interested? The presentations will take place on 8 and 9 July 2023.
Registration as of September 2023
Opera Mice – Experience the opera for a year
The opera mice [6 - 10 years] can give free rein to their curiosity and discover opera for themselves: On 10 dates spread over the season, the children can look behind the scenes, visit rehearsals, get to know various trades and instruments and gain an exciting insight into the microcosm that is opera. The dates take place without the accompaniment of parents; accordingly, the children must be ready for them and be at least 6 and no more than 10 years old on 1 September 2023.
For school classes, accompanying a visit to the opera
Opera from a completely different perspective: backstage tour
During the behind-the-scenes tours, the pupils can get to grips with opera and music theatre in a variety of ways and gain an insight into the interaction between the diverse and numerous professions and departments such as the costume or make-up department, orchestra and chorus. With an extensive range of guided tours and preparatory workshops for individual operas, children and young people are introduced to music theatre in a playful way.
Orchestra very close
Orchestral music
An opera without an orchestra? Unthinkable! The musicians from the Deutsche Oper Berlin orchestra usually disappear into the orchestra pit during performances, but otherwise they are very happy to make contact with their audience. Pupils can attend rehearsals and talk to musicians, and at events such as concert workshops or music theatre days they can also engage in more intensive exchanges.
Orchestral instruments up close
Tuba, harp, percussion...
In the digital instrument presentations, the instruments from the orchestra are gradually introduced up close. What makes each instrument sound so special, what moods and feelings are created by each instrument. Using the opera repertoire, orchestra musicians introduce their instruments in conversation with children. Who would have thought, for example, that the tuba is a real Berliner?
