Welcome to the Tischlerei!
“Encounters“ is not just the title of one of the areas of focus in the Tischlerei this season. Encounters also form a prominent part of our entire programme. In a former lifetime the Tischlerei was the workshop of the Deutsche Oper Berlin; now it is a space for experimental performances and installations, world premieres and works in progress. We embrace crossover, blend pop, rock, fine art, avant-garde and opera and explore themes centring on ‘the stranger’ and otherness in general. This regularly involves contacts between cultures leading to the generation of new forms of musical theatre. You are cordially invited to witness all these encounters close at hand.

Samuel Penderbayne: The Snow Queen
With humour and awe Brigitte Dethier and Samuel Penderbayne will tell a road-trip movie together: musical flowers, a croaking clarinet, a tuba reindeer and the eerily beautiful synthesiser world of the Snow Queen are just a few ingredients in this musical theatre in which the children experience the story up close.
"Ambushed from Behind" to A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM – 14 February
Power of the Arts II
The power of the arts is great. Yet where exactly does it lie? What can it achieve? Whom can it reach? What interests does it serve? THE POWER OF THE ARTS is the theme of the late-night series AMBUSHED FROM BEHIND. Artists from the worlds of pop, rock, avant garde, fashion and visual arts will be invited as special guests to these evenings so that they may shape the events with their view of the grand opera.
Jazz & Lyrics
These concerts combine music and texts. Original, virtuoso presentations of swing and funk mixed with biographical material, poetry and background knowledge on a particular artist or subject. These concerts are guaranteed to delight!

Chamber Music
The atmosphere of the Tischlerei concerts is uniquely intimate, up-beat and workshoppy. Inspired by the premieres or revivals taking place on the main stage, their brief is to present singers and musicians giving their personal take on works close to their heart.
Children’s and Youth Club
Starting with a subject and ending with whatever the participants have made of it. Along the way there have been weekly rehearsals, writing sessions, brainstormings and instrument playing. Each club comes up with a work of musical theatre, taking it from initial idea to polished product and culminating in a public performance.
Ambushed from Behind: Late-Night Performances
The power of art!
Where does power come from? Who determines who receives it? When is it sexy? When is it ugly? These are the types of questions that Elia Rediger is turning into an entire series of events. Reflection is the responsibility of the arts, Elia Rediger believe
