Die Tischlerei - Space for new music theatre and concert
The Tischlerei was formerly a workshop, today it is a space for experiments and installations, for world premieres and play developments. It is the home of our Junge Deutsche Oper, which fills this space with life through children's music theatre, large participatory projects and concerts. And it is the space for our musicians, who invite the audience to extraordinary programmes in chamber and jazz concerts.
Welcome
OCTOPUS LADY – from 31 October 2025
Chiara home alone
Composer Sidney Corbett and daughter Chiara have written a children’s opera together. And Chiara’s childhood experiences fed into OCTOPUS LADY in a big way
Premiere on 2 October 2025
Satisfactionaction
SATISFACTIONACTION creates a room where satisfaction through the useless and absurd repetition can be experienced immersively and celebrated collectively, and where the audience will get their money's worth through a multi-sensory experience. Is collective satisfaction merely an escape from the burning world, or does it also open up spaces where reality can be renegotiated? Composer Max Andrzejewski (photo) combines contemporary music with influences from minimal and experimental jazz.
Premiere on 22 May 2026
FINITE
In their music theatre piece FINITE, composer Asia Ahmetjanova (photo) and director Franziska Angerer meditate on our relationship to death and how we deal with our own decay. In poetic images, a communal ritual emerges between mythology and performance, which searches for a lustful surrender to this ultimate consequence of life.

Topics
Chamber music in the Tischlerei
Tischlereikonzerte
The selection of works and the dramaturgical conception of the Tischlereikonzerte are in the hands of the musicians of the orchestra. They are inspired by the new productions or revivals of the opera programme to create stimulating themes and unusual programmes that are unparalleled in their musical range in Berlin.
Chamber Music I - 3 November 2025
Spotlights
This season, an extraordinary and personal programme entitled ‘Spotlights’ will once again be presented: musicians of the orchestra will perform works that are particularly close to their hearts. The programme ranges from world-famous pieces from the chamber music repertoire to genuine rarities that are seldom heard in concert halls. Enjoy favourite pieces, rarities and evergreens.
Chamber Music II - 17 December 2025
Guilty pleasures: A night of cheesy music
Even in classical music, there are works that border on kitsch. Our musicians and soloists from the ensemble present music for the heart and soul, including pieces by Rachmaninov, Dvorak and Edith Piaf. A word of advice: don't forget your handkerchiefs!
Chamber Music III - 24 January 2026
How does something new come into the world?
This chamber music concert focuses on upheavals and new beginnings in music: everything new develops from something that has gone before. But where and how exactly does it begin? Are there specific markers along the way? We embark on a search for clues in the works of Carlo Gesualdo, Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner and John Cage.
Chamber Music special - 8 October 2025
Against forgetfulness
In a moving fusion of words, images and sound, orchestra musicians commemorate former employees of our opera house who were expelled by the National Socialists from 1933 onwards. Between the works, Margarita Broich reads from personal documents belonging to Rudolf Bing, Edgar Frank, Nelly Hirth and Else Liebert.
Chamber Music IV - 16 March 2026
Where the lemons bloom – Italy, a place of yearning
Italy, the cradle of opera, was the cultural centre of Europe for centuries. The most famous instrumentalists and composers were educated here, and European writers travelled here to overcome their writer's block. We juxtapose original Italian music with music inspired by cultural exchange and read from Goethe's ‘Italian Journey’. Listen to works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Antonio Vivaldi and Isabella Leonarda.
Chamber Music V - 13 May 2026
The sound of the forest – bringing nature to life
Composers throughout the centuries have expressed their relationship with nature and its creatures in music. How do we listen to this music today, in times of climate crisis and mass extinction, and how do younger composers address this topic? Listen to works by Sofia Asgatovna Gubaidulina, Franz Schubert, Olivier Messiaen and Kaija Saariaho.
Chamber Music VI - 11 June 2026
Crossbones
In order to make a living from composing, composers very often had to submit to the ideas of their principals, write commissioned works, and fulfil stylistic or casting requirements. Some, however, did not like this and resisted in their own way. In the last chamber music concert of the 2025/26 season, our academics present works by musical personalities who broke the mould: Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Dmitri Shostakovich.
Jazz, Jazz, Jazz
The Deutsche Oper Berlin Big Band and its “little sister”, the JazzCombo, have long since established their own tradition at the opera house. In addition to the established Jazz & Lyrics series in the Tischlerei, you can enjoy two major concerts: the 20th anniversary concert in the Philharmonie and the traditional New Year's Concert in the Main Auditorium.
Jazz & Lyrics I - 5, 6 December 2025
