In a brilliant finale to his ten-year directorship, Barrie Kosky presents a roaring revue, opening an entirely new chapter of Yiddish culture, still largely unknown to audiences. Under the musical direction of Adam Benzwi and with choreographer Otto Pichler, long-time companions such as Dagmar Manzel, Katharine Mehrling, Max Hopp, Helmut Baumann, the Geschwister Pfister and Ruth Brauer-Kvam, together with members of the Ensemble and a small dance troupe, celebrate love, music—and also, just a bit, the artist Barrie Kosky.

Schwanda the Bagpiper
Švanda dudák
Komische Oper Festival
Last time this season!
To the Royal Throne, then to Hell and back, please!—Jaromír Weinberger's Schwanda, the Bagpiper, which premiered in Prague in 1927, was a sensational success, performed thousands of times across Europe and the USA until 1933. After the global success of the musical My Fair Lady, Andreas Homoki stages the late romantic musical theatre comedy about a bagpiper. In the cast are Baritone Daniel Schmutzhard as the Bohemian mood cannon and Kiandra Howarth as the eternally beloved Dorotka. Together with General Music Director Ainārs Rubiķis, they conquer hearts, the world—and the underworld!

Grandiose joie de vivre comes together with a quest for meaning—Giuseppe Verdi’s last masterpiece, written when he was nearly 80, not only breathed new life into the genre of Italian opera-comedy, but spontaneously revolutionised the genre and brought it into the 20th century. Exceptional baritone and »stage animal« Scott Hendricks returns to the Komische Oper Berlin in the title role, while audience favourite Günter Papendell makes his debut as the aggrieved husband, Ford.
