Richard Strauss: Intermezzo
Premiere on 25 April 2024 - Further performances on 28 April, 1, 5 May and 7 and 14 June 2024
New operatic material for a new age - that was not just what the avant-gardists were looking for in the 1920s. Old master Richard Strauss went even further and not only brought a story from the modern world to the stage, but also, barely veiled, his own married life ... Conductor: Sir Donald Runnicles / Dominic Limburg; Production: Tobias Kratzer; With Philipp Jekal, Maria Bengtsson / Flurina Stucki [June], Thomas Blondelle and others.

Der Ring des Nibelungen
The individual sale for all performances from 11 May to 2 June 2024 has begun.
Der Ring des Nibelungen
A group of people meet a grand piano on an empty stage, a note is struck, and slowly a world of fantasy, longing and intoxication unfolds, captivating everyone and fusing them into a community. This is how DAS RHEINGOLD, directed by Stefan Herheim, begins, true to Wagner's core idea of creating a modern equivalent to the community-building power of Greek theatre. On the four evenings, Herheim creates an arc that leads through stations in the performance history and finally into the foyer of the Deutsche Oper with its cloud sculpture.Blogbeitrag

Das Rheingold

Die Walküre

Die Walküre
After the reign of the gods has reached its radiant zenith at the end of the RHEINGOLD with the entry into Valhalla Castle, the signs in the WALKÜRE are stormy: the people are frozen in greed for power, mistrust and possessiveness, the gods confine themselves only to monitoring compliance with the old laws instead of questioning their meaning ...

Siegfried

Siegfried
Wagner described his SIEGFRIED as a "heroic comedy" which, in its balance between comic and tragic elements, remains the challenge for its directors to this day. For Herheim, it is the act of the play that joins the opposites into a whole. The boundaries between animal and human become as blurred as those between the characters and their creator...

Götterdämmerung
20, 26 May; 2 June 2024
Götterdämmerung
In the final part of the tetralogy, the theatrical devices that dominate Stefan Herheim's version of the RING also come together for the grand finale: the concert grand piano, where the play once began, is just as present as the white cloth, which, among other things, mutates into the shroud of the murdered hero. And, of course, the suitcases are also present, which in the course of the tetralogy have repeatedly created new landscapes and play situations. In the end, this world sinks, only to be reborn in the next play ...

Maria Bengtsson – My private place of peace
"My favourite place is Café Wildau on Lake Werbellin. We've always been drawn here, mostly in summer for swimming and sailing, but also in winter for long walks along the shore. I find something here that I also find by the sea: space and tranquillity." Maria Bengtsson invites you to take a walk along Lake Werbellin in our blog, in INTERMEZZO she plays the role of the artist's wife Christine.
1931 – 2024
In memory of Gerd Feldhoff
After Gerd Feldhoff had already made his debut here in 1961 in the title role of Mozart's LE NOZZE DI FIGARO, he became a permanent member of the ensemble in 1963. Karl Böhm quickly entrusted him with baritone roles in the serious repertoire, such as Barak in DIE FRAU OHNE SCHATTEN, which was to remain his favourite role for the rest of his life. Feldhoff remained loyal to our theatre until his retirement in 1999: with his performances as Wozzeck, Hans Sachs and Amfortas, as Jochanaan, Pizarro and Wanderer, he left his mark on the stage. Gerd Feldhoff passed away on 4 April at the age of 92. We will honour the memory of our long-time ensemble member.Our video recommendations

Nicholas Carter – My private place of peace
"Naturally you can hear the river in the score of THE RHINEGOLD, and up here, with the mountains and snow-covered peaks as a majestic backdrop, I have the D flat major from Valhalla constantly in my head. I read how Wagner used to go walking in the Bernese Oberland. He lived in Switzerland as well, of course, and the Villa Tribschen is on the shores of the Vierwaldstättersee", says Nicholas Carter, whose home is the Bernese Oberland. Join him on a walk along the Aare and experience him as the conductor of the first cycle of the RING DES NIBELUNGEN on 11, 12, 18 and 20 May 2024.Blogbeitrag
