La traviata
Revival
A classic – radically modern! Giuseppe Verdi’s most famous work about the life, love, suffering and death of a high-class courtesan in 19th-century Paris is reinterpreted by director Nicola Raab in a production of deconstructed scenes. Violetta Valéry embodies a dichotomous yearning – torn between love and autonomy, between the present and a fantasy world full of dark abysses and erotic excesses.

Farges mikh nit
A virtuosic recital of yiddish songs between infectious comedy, gentle melancholy, and deeply moving despair. Following the celebrated concerts of 2015 and 2018, Farges mikh nit (Don’t forget me) returns this season to the proscenium of the Komische Oper Berlin. Ensemble member Alma Sadé, the internationally successful mezzo-soprano Helene Schneiderman, and Intendant Barrie Kosky as »a great entertainer and congenial accompanist for his two wonderful singers« [BERLINER ZEITUNG] bring a forgotten genre back to life: the Yiddish operetta.

Salon of the Komische Oper Berlin and the Ernst Schering Stiftung
Recht und Gerechtigkeit
Theory meets Entertainment; Art meets Scholarship. Whether in the foyer of the Komische Oper Berlin or on the web via Zoom and YouTube, these evening salon talks have become a permanent feature of our programme. Together with the Ernst Schering Foundation and supported by the Gegenbauer Group, in the 2021/22 season the Komische Oper Berlin will once again host four evening salon talks with renowned scholars on points of interest in both the academic world and the world of opera. As always, the varying dramaturgy of the discussions and thematically coordinated artistic interventions contribute to a playful, intimate atmosphere reminiscent of the salons of the 19th century.
