On 13 September 2025, our 2025/26 season will begin, for which our current opera director Christoph Seuferle will be responsible as acting artistic director. To give you a taste of our repertoire highlights and our seven new productions on the day of the publication of our annual programme, 19 May 2025, we warmly invite you to this musical presentation of our programme. What's coming up?

This concert will also honour a great singer who has long been associated with the house: Doris Soffel, who most recently thrilled audiences as the Countess in PIQUE DAME, Madame Louise in OCEANE, Agnese di Cervia in LA FIAMMA, Klytämnestra in ELEKTRA and Adelaide in ARABELLA, will be awarded honorary membership of the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
