“Five years ago I used to listen rather sadly to my predecessor, Fox Strangways, while he told me of his good fortune as a young man in being able to hear Brahms’s mature works as they came out. Now I feel differently for in Benjamin Britten we have at last a composer who offers us visions as great as those. His new Serenade, op. 31, a set of six songs for tenor, horn, and strings, surpasses everything else of his in strength and feeling.”
(William Glock)
Benjamin Britten's song cycle entitled “Serenade for tenor, horn and orchestra”, with its close association to PETER GRIMES, is based on works by great English poets such as Charles Cotton, Lord Tennyson, William Blake, Ben Jonson and John Keats. In this short anthology of “Night Songs and Dream Poems” Britten expresses his love for the English language poetry and its poetry. A contemporary reviewer, William Glock, places the composer, back in England after self-imposed exile in America, in a direct line with Johannes Brahms, the great German composer whose music will dominate the second part of the concert.
The idea of composing symphonies after Beethoven was audacious and Brahms' Symphony No. 1 was 15 years in the making, from the first notes to completion and premiere. Beethoven's work exerted huge influence on the next generation of composers. With his opus No. 68 Brahms dares to follow in his footsteps and he does so in this his first symphony by referencing Beethoven's last. The piece's final movement contains an unmistakeable echo of “Freude, schöner Götterfunken”.
Brahms in turn is referenced by Detlev Glanert. Performed for the first time in Germany, his “Brahms fantasy, heliogravure for orchestra” will serve as prologue to the symphony concert.

On six separate occasions last September the Orchestra of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, its General Music Director Donald Runnicles and the tenor Jonas Kaufmann all converged on the grand auditorium of the broadcasting centre in Nalepastraße to revel in its legendary acoustics and record one of the most significant song CDs of Wagner Year 2013. The recording includes works as diverse as the "Wesendonck Lieder", extracts from THE RING OF THE NIBELUNG and the seldom-heard original full version of the "Tale of the Holy Grail" from LOHENGRIN. The Chorus of the Deutsche Oper Berlin performing the original version of the "Tale of the Holy Grail" and Markus Brück as Wolfram and King Henry in extracts from TANNHÄUSER and LOHENGRIN complete the group of Deutsche Oper Berlin artists who came together for this recording with Jonas Kaufmann.
This CD is the latest in a long line of Deutsche Oper Berlin song-recital recordings - many of them legendary - which began in the 1960s with Martha Mödl, Christa Ludwig, Rita Streich, Hermann Prey and Grace Bumbry and went on to include Placido Domingo, René Kollo, Peter Seiffert (with whom the Orchestra recorded a total of three recitals), Thomas Quasthoff and most recently Klaus Florian Vogt. Produced on the Decca label, the CD featuring Jonas Kaufmann and Donald Runnicles went on sale in mid February.

Following his successful debut as David in THE MASTERSINGERS OF NUREMBERG at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Thomas Blondelle was contracted for a new production of MASTERSINGERS at De Nederlandse Opera, again in the role of David. The production, under the musical direction of Marc Albrecht and directed by David Alden, will premiere in Amsterdam on 4th June 2013. Thomas Blondelle will therefore have to postpone his debut as Erik in the FLYING DUTCHMAN.
We are now delighted to be able to present Klaus Florian Vogt, who has signalled his readiness to take on the role of Erik in the concert performance at the Philharmonie. This will be the first time the opera has been performed in Berlin in its original form, which differs markedly from the standard version and is closer to the style of grand opéra. Donald Runnicles will direct a line-up of singers that also includes Ante Jerkunica, Samuel Youn and Ricarda Merbeth.

Tischlerei - A new stage for the Deutsche Oper Berlin
Die Tischlerei © Thomas Aurin
Where once sawdust and wood shavings predominated, a different energy now fills the air of the Deutsche Oper Berlin's second performance space, the former carpentry workshop. In the opera house's anniversary season the Tischlerei has been turned into an experimentation studio and workspace for contemporary musical theatre and concerts showcasing all manner of present-day forms of musical expression - the multifarious styles espoused by young composers and experimentation with older genres ranging from the kunstlied and concert to opera.
This new performance space is a platform for fresh ideas and startling confrontations, and its two emphases are already enriching the opera landscape in Berlin: the Tischlerei will soon be a regular venue for modern Berlin musical theatre for children and teenagers and thus the performance venue of the "Augenblick mal!" young people's theatre company. It will also provide off-theatre artists with a platform from which to test their forms of expression using the facilities of a large opera house. These two usages are perfectly illustrated by the productions scheduled for the new season - MAHLERMANIA by the well-known Berlin company Nico and the Navigators and HOFFMANN, a new creation by Swedish dramatist Jakop Ahlbom based on Jacques Offenbach's work. These are both cross-genre productions, as are the premieres of the winning works from the NEW SCENES composition competition and the BISMARCKSTRASSE 35 concert installation.
High points in the children's musical theatre calendar are the premiere of OH, WIE SCHÖN IST PANAMA, a work by the young Chinese composer Lin Wang based on the children's classic by Janosch, and SOMETHING ELSE by Berlin composer Juliane Klein, which is being adapted for presentation by the Children's Chorus of the Deutsche Oper Berlin.
Next performances
The Premieres 2012/2013
Giuseppe Verdi: Rigoletto
RIGOLETTO is a masterpiece whose charm lies precisely in the confrontation between psychological portraiture and the unlikely turns of a fantastical tale, a tale that is half tragedy, half romantic horror story. For better or worse, despite his grotesque physique, the hunchbacked jester-hero has to get his audience laughing. His daughter Gilda seems angelic by contrast - and yet human through and through in her unconditional love and self-sacrifice.

Benjamin Britten: Peter Grimes
Britten once said that with his PETER GRIMES he wanted to portray the unceasing struggle of men and women whose livelihoods were linked to the sea. Britten\'s opera shows with unnerving clarity how the people\'s struggle, often a fight for their very survival, made them tough and unbending and stamped itself on the little coastal communities. The story centres around Peter Grimes, a fisherman and loner who becomes the object of accusations and ostracisation following the unexplained death of his apprentice. The work, which made Britten famous, was staged by American director David Alden at the National Opera in London.
Helmut Lachenmann: The Little Match Girl
Lachenmann adapted Hans Christian Andersen´s story of a young girl dying from hypothermia to produce a riveting musical study of societal frigidity, human isolation and what it is to be homeless in the modern age. Lachenmann describes as “music with pictures” this form of musical theatre in which the language is a fragmentation of individual sounds and the music undergoes constant shifts in temperature and consistency, ranging from scarcely perceivable silences and abrasive or drilling noises to sweeping waves of warming sound.
Richard Wagner: Parsifal
PARSIFAL tells the story of a “pure-hearted fool”, who is unaware of his vocation and true nature. Parsifal is caught between two opposing worlds - the ascetic society of the Knights of the Holy Grail and Klingsor´s erotically charged magic garden. There, Parsival attains enlightenment from the kiss of a woman and is able to gain redemption for Amfortas, the suffering Grail king, and the Knights of the Grail. Borrowing freely from a diverse range of sagas, Christian and Buddhist motifs and Schopenhauer´s ideas, Richard Wagner created his own mythical tale.
April 5, 18, 21, 2014
Sergey Prokofiev: The Love for Three Oranges
That this story of a lovelorn prince has become the most beloved of Prokofiev\'s operas is down not only to its quirky and spirited music, however, but also to the interpretive freedom provided by his rich, visual world with its cast of magicians, fairies and card-playing queens. With audiences free to read the work as fanciful fairytale, shrewd political satire or glamorous revue, it is small wonder that Robert Carsen loves this particular opera.

Dear opera lovers,
The following pages provide an overview of the activities of the Deutsche Oper Berlin Orchestra beyond its evenings in the pit.
It may surprise you to learn how broad is the spectrum of projects and concert series that our musicians take on, largely out of strong personal commitment to their vocation. The "Sounds of the World" series of chamber music concerts, which airs works that you would otherwise be unlikely to hear, even in a city as rich in music as Berlin, has been going strong for a number of years now. In particular the Israel-Turkey theme this season promises some fascinating encounters between two ancient cultures, both of which pursued their own paths of musical development in the 20th century.
Different though the initiatives and ensembles are, the chamber concerts, the big band and the many projects involving children and teenagers all have one thing in common: they demonstrate that our musicians look beyond the day-to-day demands of their profession and are keen to talk and interact with music lovers. Many of these projects are well established already, but we are very excited now to have, in the former carpentry workshop, the Tischlerei, a new performance space in which to showcase to even better effect this 'extracurricular' side of the Orchestra.
You will also find the usual information here on symphony concerts and concertante performances of operatic works, in which you can experience the Orchestra on the concert platforms of the Philharmonie and the Konzerthaus and on the stage of the Deutsche Oper Berlin. As you leaf through these pages I hope your curiosity will be tweaked. One example of the events on offer is our presentation of Wagner's original FLYING DUTCHMAN juxtaposed with the GHOST SHIP of French composer Pierre-Louis Dietsch, based on the sketch written by Wagner for the Paris Opera.
I look forward to enjoying this new season with you to the fullest.

THE RING: NEXT GENERATION
Youth project based on Richard Wagner's THE RING OF THE NIBELUNG
Do you play in a band? Do you sing, rap, dance, do acrobatics or have any other talent that should be up there in front of an audience on stage? Want to get in on a cross-culture project and dish up your own answer to old master Richard Wagner's 18-hour RING OF THE NIBELUNG epic? Then drop us a line - we'll be delighted to hear from you!
Opernmäuse
Children's opera for 5-9 year-olds
Curiosity may kill the cat but it can't touch our Opernmäuse ('opera mice') as they set about exploring the Deutsche Oper Berlin, participating in workshops, getting behind-the-scenes insights into the workings of various departments, watching as older children rehearse and even getting to know singers and musicians. In no time at all they've become experts on the ins and outs of musical theatre. Our mice get together once a month on average, so what are you waiting for?
Mäuse meetings are held approx. once a month from September 2012, on various days of the week. Club subscription is €20. Space is limited.

Youth Club
Backstage
Brings youngsters into contact with opera!
Since the spring of 2009 the Youth Club of the Deutsche Oper Berlin has been a focal point for 15-30 year-olds who have developed an interest in opera or are in the process of discovering its delights. We organise our own varied programme of events. Around eight times a season we gather to attend an opera, take a tour or sit in on an orchestra or opera rehearsal. At sit-down gatherings we rub shoulders with artists and staff of the opera house. Through our affiliation to the "Juvenilia" umbrella organisation we also interact with the youth-club organisations of other European opera houses. New members are always welcome. Experience the world of opera for an annual subscription of just €15.

A club for fans of musical theatre
This season the Youth Club is organising its first-ever active group, a musical theatre lab for rehearsing, testing ideas out and researching. Young people get an insight into how a musical theatre project evolves and at the end present their finished product on the big stage. This is the club for all those who have an urge to act! Intensive rehearsals are held in the second week of the Easter holidays and over Pentecost; the big night comes at the beginning of June. Registration fee: €15 (on top of Youth Club subscription).

We are always pleased to liaise with teachers interested in organising a school trip to the opera. We recommend our free explanatory programmes that we can compile to suit your requirements. We can organise a tour of the opera house, a workshop giving a practical grounding in opera and a talk by our production experts beforehand and afterwards. By sitting in on an orchestra rehearsal school children experience the work of an orchestra close at hand and get to know the various instrument groups. And if you want an even closer glimpse behind the scenes, our 'adopt an opera' option gives the class a profound insight into the developmental process and a chance to communicate with the 'makers' themselves.
Sign up to our mailing list and get our monthly newsletter giving news on performance schedules, training opportunities and special projects for school children. Registration forms are available from: www.deutscheoperberlin.de/operundschule
We also offer the following workshops, in which school classes learn about selected works from the main programme and get to prepare their own musical performance under the watchful guidance of professionals.
