Deutsche Oper Berlin

Its 1,865 seats make the Deutsche Oper Berlin the largest opera house in Berlin and also Germany’s second-largest opera theatre. Opera history has been written here since 1912: chief conductors such as Bruno Walter, Lorin Maazel, Christian Thielemann and, since 2009, Donald Runnicles, have forged the theatre’s international reputation as a venue for grand opera; directors including Götz Friedrich and Hans Neuenfels, Christof Loy and Philipp Stölzl have created milestones of modern musical theatre here.

With its broad repertoire ranging from Mozart to Richard Strauss and expanded under Dietmar Schwarz’ tenure since 2012 by regular world premieres on the main stage and cycles including, among others, Meyerbeer’s and Britten’s major works, the Deutsche Oper Berlin offers its audience the opportunity of experiencing opera at the highest level and in almost unmatched variety on more than 200 evenings per year.
