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.

A Woman Who Knows What She Wants!
Enter Dagmar Manzel and Max Hopp. She plays: Manon Cavallini, the opera diva, Raoul Severac, her suitor, as well as the father of her daughter Lucy. He plays: this very same daughter, all five of Cavallini’s lovers, and on top of that, Lucy’s gallant. In further roles – Dagmar Manzel and Max Hopp! Twenty characters, two performers. A breathless tour de force with an orchestra, conducted by Adam Benzwi, that serves up a firework display of fastpaced marches, tempestuous waltzes and incomparable chansons composed by Oscar Straus. »After just 90 minutes, one feels totally drunk on so much energy, intellect and wit.« [BERLINER MORGENPOST]

Œdipe
A unique piece of 20th century music theatre can be seen in Berlin for the first time in over 20 years, staged by the up-and-coming Russian director Evgeny Titov, who caused a sensation at the 2019 Salzburg Festival with his production of Gorky's Summer Guests. The title role is played by the British baritone Leigh Melrose, hailed as one of the new experts in 20th century opera.

The Nose
Revival
In a mix of nightmare and zany, over-the-top satire, director Barrie Kosky stages tap-dancing noses, moving rickshaw tables and cartoonishly hyperbolic protagonists with gaudy costumes, somewhere between folklore and historicism, in a cool space that feels claustrophobic, despite its size
