Moonlit Night
Last performance!
They are the resounding heart of the Komische Oper Berlin ensemble: the chorus soloists. Together with members of the orchestra they will be presenting an evening rich in suggestive sounds: lieder by the Romantic composer Robert Schumann, arranged by Choral Director David Cavelius, with lighting by Klaus Grünberg, and enchantingly staged by Barrie Kosky.
19:30
The »Gipsy« Baron
Seventy years after Walter Felsenstein's production of The Gypsy Baron, (the single production of this work in the history of the Komische Oper Berlin), director Tobias Kratzer, celebrated for his production of Tannhauser in Bayreuth, stages one of Strauss’s most famous operettas as a parable of the conflicts of today’s multicultural society. With Stefan Soltesz at the podium, he’ll be supported by an expert in the domain of Viennese operetta.
19:00
Pierrot Lunaire
Three Monodrama
A dark stage, a woman and her voice — a sound that hovers somewhere between song and speech. With Pierrot Lunaire (1912), Not I (1972) and Rockaby (1981), Arnold Schoenberg and Samuel Beckett created pioneering monodramas in which language, music, and form break with conventions, coming closer together. Works thus tailor-made for the genre-bending iconoclasts Barrie Kosky and Dagmar Manzel.
