In view of the current development of the pandemic, the “Pilot Project Testing” continues to be paused and we cannot yet be given a replacement date for the unfortunately cancelled performance “Francesca da Rimini” on 4 April 2021, we ask all ticket holders to cancel their tickets. For this purpose, you can use the refund form on the website as well as contact our telephone ticket service at +49 30 343 84 343. We apologize for the inconvenience and the disappointed hope and will do our utmost to be able to offer you performances again in this or another form as soon as possible! With all good wishes and best regards.

The Deutsche Oper Berlin is in final rehearsals for Richard Wagner's SIEGFRIED with a strict test concept, preparing the continuation of the new RING under the baton of Sir Donald Runnicles and directed by Stefan Herheim. Unfortunately, this premiere, which was scheduled for 18 April, cannot take place either due to the current pandemic situation and has to be postponed to an as yet undetermined date. Clay Hilley is in rehearsals as the title character on stage, alongside Ya-Chung Huang as Mime, Iain Paterson as Der Wanderer, Markus Brück as Alberich and Nina Stemme as Brünnhilde, among others. We will let you know the new premiere date as soon as it is foreseeable.

This also means that the date announced for 30 April in the Tischlerei for the premiere of SIEGFRIED with Sofia Portanet, members of the Deutsche Oper Berlin ensemble and musicians from the orchestra in the series "Ambushed from behind: Power of the Arts" will be postponed.

New date for DAS RHEINGOLD
As a consequence of the far-reaching programme cancellations and changes due to the Covid 19 pandemic, we want to inform you that the premiere of Verdi's SIMON BOCCANEGRA, which was announced for 22 November 2020, will be postponed to the 2022/23 season. And the premiere of DAS RHEINGOLD, planned for mid-June 2020 and then cancelled, is to be made up for on 12 June 2021. The premiere of FIDELIO originally announced for that day will also be postponed to the 2022/23 season.

The new production of the MATTHÄUS-PASSION, originally planned for 25 April, will be postponed to a later season.

THE MAKING OF BLOND by Gesine Danckwart at the Tischlerei is postponed to 8 June. The co-production with the Munich Biennale ONCE TO BE REALISED, which should have premiered at the Tischlerei in June 2020, has now gone through important rehearsal stages and will be postponed to a performance date in the 2021/22 season.

The current play schedule with repertoire performances and concerts will be announced soon, pending governmental regulations.
