Welcome to the 2022/23 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 ... We look forwards to seeing you, Your Dietmar Schwarz
Welcome

Songs and Poets: The German tradition
During his lifetime, Max Reger, born in 1873, was considered the heir to the German tradition of Johannes Brahms. Today, his late Romantic-influenced song oeuvre is almost forgotten. The evening with Flurina Stucki and Attilio Glaser, among others, contrasts songs by Reger and his rival Richard Strauss as well as music by Philipp Maintz, born in 1977. Flurina Stucki, Philipp Jekal and Attilio Glaser sing, John Parr on the piano. The poet and writer Thomas Kunst reads from his own texts.
"Words sound - sounds speak"
Since its creation, opera has been the result of a collaboration between composers and lyricists. The operas of Richard Strauss, Mozart or even Puccini and Debussy are inconceivable without this symbiosis. Among others, Monteverdi's intermediate music from ORFEO, Mozart's Harmoniemusik for woodwinds, Debussy's String Quartet in G minor, Berg's Four Pieces for clarinet and piano and Weill's excerpts from DIE DREIGROSCHENOPER will be heard.Our video recommendations
