The orchestra's academy students are young musicians who are starting their careers at our orchestra. Enthusiasm and the search for one's own path are characteristics that young people in particular bring with them. This freshness can also be found in the programme for the first chamber concert of the season: works by young composers show that the first steps in a musical career can be full of surprises. But we also show that a "young" or new perspective is not only found in young minds.

Advents-Verlosung: Das 14. Fensterchen

This much can be revealed today: This third weekend of Advent belongs to jazz. Since 2005, the BigBand of the Deutsche Oper Berlin has been a permanent fixture in the programme: be it at big concerts with Katharine Mehrling, Madeline Bell, Lyambiko, Jocelyn B. Smith, Pe Werner, Bill Ramsey, Paul Kuhn, Georgie Fame, Jiggs Whigham, Jeff Cascaro, Till Brönner or Richard Galliano as soloists. But concerts also regularly take place in the Tischlerei with smaller formations, and audio books for children are also created here. The most recent release – following on from ‘The Jungle Book’ and ‘The Ballad of Robin Hood’ – is the audio book ‘The Canterville Ghost’.

Today we are giving away 5 CDs of ‘The Canterville Ghost’ based on Oscar Wilde's fairy tale. If you would like to be one of the winners, please send an email to advent@deutscheoperberlin.de today with the subject ‘The 14th little window’.

For generations, Canterville Castle has been haunted, but that doesn't stop the American ambassador Hiram B. Otis from acquiring the old building and moving in with his family. As modern, enlightened Americans, they don't believe British ghost stories. And so hard times begin for the old castle ghost, who has never experienced such disrespect in all his centuries.

Musicians Martin Auer and Rüdiger Ruppert have created an impressive narrative concert for the Deutsche Oper Berlin. While Christian Brückner tells the story of the disaffected castle ghost, the wild jazz orchestra creates an atmospheric backdrop of horror. A sound work of art for the whole family!



Closing date: 14 December 2024. The winners will be informed by email on 16 December 2024. The CDs will be sent by post. The judges' decision is final.
