Welcome to the 2021/22 season!
As people who commute to work at an opera house, our day job consists of channelling our energies and enthusiasm into using music and drama to tell stories. But in addition to this we all nurture a secondary passion – a desire to simply play music straight, to enjoy it for its own sake without the costumes and stage set. This can be in the form of jazz, kunstlieder, chamber music or the full-bodied sound of the orchestra delivering a symphony. The Deutsche Oper Berlin provides a space for all these initiatives, material that includes chamber music concerts in the Tischlerei, the “Songs and Poets” and “Jazz & Lyrics” programmes, and concerts on the main stage given by our orchestra and the BigBand.

Men, Myths, Fairy Tales
The works of Schumann ("Auf dem Rheine", "Belsazar"), Szymanowsky ("Mythen") and Telemann ("12 Marches heroiques") touch on various themes and motifs, all of which are of central importance to Wagner's DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN. The programme's conclusion is a direct homage to Wagner: a "Rheingold phantasmagoria" arranged by Douglas Brown for chamber ensemble and narrator, in which Wagner's letters are interwoven with passages from RHEINGOLD.

The Ring of the Nibelung
For over 100 years, the history of our house has been inextricably linked with Wagner's opus summum. Almost four decades after Götz Friedrich's "time tunnel", Stefan Herheim and Sir Donald Runnicles are now forging a new RING: THE VALKYRIE and THE RHINEGOLD celebrated their premiere in the 2020/21 season, SIEGFRIED and TWILIGHT OF THE GODS will follow in autumn 2021.

Chamber Concert on 22 November 2021
"Cage, Kagel und Co."
As the secret jack-of-all-trades of the orchestra, percussionists are masters of everything between melody, timbre, rhythm and noise. In the second Tischlerei concert, they present a varied programme - from a performance for four percussionists and a table to furious virtuoso ensemble compositions ... In the video, Benjamin Britten sets the mood.

"On the Catwalk"
For the musicians of the orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, their series of chamber-music sessions is a wish come true. Taking their inspiration from key operas on the programme, they put together concert programmes linked to works that they hold particularly dearly. In the first concert of the season, members of our Orchestra Academy play works by Jean-Baptiste Barrière, Henriette Renié, Astor Piazzolla, Max Reger, Ludwig van Beethoven und Franz Schubert.
