About the performance

Opera goes swimming pool! As the small venue of the Deutsche Oper Berlin is closed at the beginning of the season due to renovation work, the team of the first Tischlerei premiere of the season set out in search of an alternative space. They found what they were looking for in the immediate neighbourhood - the Stadtbad Charlottenburg, just a few steps away.

IMMERSION invites you to literally immerse yourself in a collective ritual experience, as the majority of the audience is in the water with the artists. As a continuation of the successful "Hinterhalt" series, the evening reflects on the themes of the first three new productions on the Deutsche Oper's main stage from a feminist perspective: during the evening, the witches and ghostly creatures from LA FIAMMA, MACBETH and DIE FRAU OHNE SCHATTEN will be conjured up. In the magical atmosphere of the historic swimming pool hall, a hybrid evening is created with the transdisciplinary inclusion of opera singing, contemporary artistry, real-time visuals and techno. IMMERSION is a celebration and a mystical ritual that encourages people to think together about visions of a possible future world.

Following on from IMMERSION at Stadtbad Charlottenburg, this season's "Hinterhalt" series will come to an end in July 2025 under the title EMERSION back at the Tischlerei.

Information about the event
There are two seating categories for the event at Stadtbad Charlottenburg: Spectators can experience the show in the water (swimming tickets) or sit on chairs at the edge of the pool (seating tickets). The water height in the audience area of the pool is 0.65-1.35 metres. Only swimwear is permitted in the hall and pool; street or everyday clothing is not permitted. Please bring swimwear and towels etc. for participation in the water. For reasons of respect, we ask that you also bring clothing suitable for swimming in the pool and do not sit there in everyday clothing. Further information can be found in the ticket information.

The tickets for the event also serve as admission to the pool. Clothing and valuables can be stored in the lockers provided during the event. We ask for your understanding that photography and filming is not permitted inside the pool, nor is bringing food and drink into the pool.

Adventsverlosung: Das 8. Fensterchen

We are already looking forward to the revival of Rued Langgaard's ANTIKRIST in April 2025, a production that is both musically exuberant and scenically imaginative.

Today, we are giving away two DVDs of this production in Ersan Mondtag's staging in our Advent calendar. If you would like to take part in the draw, please send an e-mail to advent@deutscheoperberlin.de today with the subject line ‘The 8th window’.

The Antichrist makes his entrance into a godless world. Sent by Lucifer into the world, he adopts many guises. Mankind is tested and tempted by pride, lust, lies, despondency and hatred in an “all-against-all altercation”. Langgaard’s opera is suffused with fin de siècle atmosphere and pessimism, warning of catastrophe and denouncing the vices of the modern age: egotism, arrogance, frivolity. Langgaard, though, was also an optimist, convinced of the transformative, transcendental power of art and the importance of music as a thread connecting people to the godhead. So it is that the world is freed of all evil and sorrow in the culminating chorus scene in ANTIKRIST. In the eyes of multi-award-winning director Ersan Mondtag, Langgaard’s opera foretelling a doomsday frenzy is a parable of our own times.

Under the baton of Stephan Zilias, this award-winning production by Ersan Mondtag features Thomas Lehman, Jonas Grundner-Culemann, Valeriia Savinskaia, Irene Roberts, Clemens Bieber, Maire Therese Carmack, Flurina Stucki, AJ Glueckert, Andrew Dickinson, Joel Allison, as well as the chorus and orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin. The performances on 10 and 12 February 2023 were recorded for this DVD. This DVD was awarded the ‘Diamant d'Opéra’ by ‘Opéra Magazine’ in December 2024.

We would like to thank the Naxos label for the great collaboration over the past few years, which includes recordings of DER ZWERG, DAS WUNDER DER HELIANE, FRANCESCA DA RIMINI, DER RING DES NIBELUNGEN, DER SCHATZGRÄBER, DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG and ANTIKRIST. Richard Strauss' ARABELLA and INTERMEZZO will be released in the course of 2025.



Closing date: 8 December 2024. The winners will be informed by email on 9 December 2024. The DVDs will then be sent by post. There is no right of appeal.
