Don’t just watch musical theatre; make musical theatre. In our workshops and projects children, teenagers and families are active onstage and backstage. Young Opera provides everyone with a stage! For our projects and productions we want your stories and experiences, your ideas and opinions – onstage and behind the scenes. In our family workshops and tours, our generational performances and our children-friendly open day families can experience musical theatre together at discount rates.
Musical theatre for acting enthusiasts
They were the »Berlin Musikanten« struggling with »Donkey Shot« against windmills, transforming the backstage area into a reverberating maze of sound and setting up the » tailor’s workshop for catchy songs«. Now the Children’s Club is signing up new members!

A year of discovering opera
The Opernmäuse ('opera mice') are back and they're taking over the opera house! Looking, listening, learning..., they're peeking behind the scenes, taking tours and workshops, being asked for their impressions at rehearsals of our children's productions and generally peering and probing into every nook and cranny of the Opera. All we can say is: Go for it!
A registration for this season is unfortunately no longer possible.
We accept new registrations for the season 2020/21 with the start of advance sales.
"I came to Berlin from Afghanistan, and first lived in a hotel with other refugees. There we got a flyer from a project by the Junge Deutsche Oper. At first I didn't really know what theatre is, but I understood during the workshop. Once I was a wolf in a fur costume, and the kids were really scared! My German has gotten much better since I started doing theatre. I love speaking in front of a lot of people. This year I even became a student representative."
Hessam Alawuddin is 17 and has participated in a number of projects by the Junge Deutsche Oper, such as in the Jugendclub.

New youth production with Berlin teenagers
Be loud! Our new youth production finds 30-50 youngsters teaming up with artists to make themselves heard. And also to explore what it is to listen. Who actually has something to say? What do the things that excite us sound like, and who do we show the result to? Since 2015, a transcultural, participatory production has been mounted annually, with a motley bunch of young people spending a number of weeks developing a work of musical theatre, to be presented in the Tischlerei.
Dramaturgy Kristina Stang, Jörg Königsdorf
With 30-50 youngsters
