Without the Schiller Theatre, there’d be no Komische Oper Berlin! Opened in 1907, it became a supplementary venue for the Prussian State Theatre in 1921. Walter Felsenstein directed here in the 1930s, under Intendant Heinrich George.
The Schiller Theatre was bombed out in 1944, so its artists shifted their work to the Hebbel Theatre. It was there that Felsenstein created his legendary production of La vie parisienne by Jacques Offenbach, which ultimately earned him the intendant job at what was once the Metropol Theatre on Behrenstrasse. This is where he founded the institution now considered the birthplace of modern music theatre: the Komische Oper Berlin. The Schiller Theatre was rebuilt in 1950/51, and has served as a venue for the Komische Oper Berlin since the 2023/24 season.
