Dear friends of opera!
The Society of Friends and Patrons of the Deutsche Oper Berlin have been providing active, committed and enthusiastic support to Berlin’s largest opera house since 1982. We are a group of people who have a close emotional attachment to the institution. The Deutsche Oper Berlin is known for the calibre and quality of its ensemble and artists, the fine acoustics and its excellent views of the stage from all corners of the auditorium – and we want to raise the public profile of these attributes. Our activities also include helping the ensemble to realise special artistic visions. Would you like to get involved? Please ask about the benefits associated with being a Society member. We will happily tailor an individual package to your requirements. We look forward to hearing from you!
Sincerely, André Schmitz,
Chairman of Förderkreis der Deutschen Oper Berlin e.V.

A great result!
In a spectacular auction Dr. Kilian Jay von Seldeneck succeeded in coaxing our members to follow the bidding all the way and pay large sums for delights such as a role as an extra in DIE FLEDERMAUS or a reading with Margot Friedländer. The proceeds of the evening enabled the Society to spend over €65,000 on a new double bass.

Rheingold on the parking deck
The coronavirus-induced postponement of the premiere of RHEINGOLD, newly staged by Stefan Herheim, gives the Deutsche Oper Berlin the opportunity to present the first part of Dove's adaptation in a semi-staged setup. With its 90-minute duration, Dove's adaptation of RHEINGOLD is an impressively dramatic concentration, the chamber music reduction of which still retains the vividness and clarity of Wagner's score.
Favourites ... with Patrick Guetti
"Solche hergelaufne Laffen" Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart´s THE ABDUCTION FROM THE SERAGLIO, sung by the bass-baritone and scholarship holder of the Förderkreis in the 2019/20 season Patrick Guetti, accompanied by Maxime Perrin. With the season 2020/21 Patrick Guetti changes to our ensemble.
Favourites ... with Samuel Dale Johnson
Listen to ensemble soloist and baritone Samuel Dale Johnson with "Kogda bi zhizn" from Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky's EUGEN ONEGIN, accompanied by Tilman Wildt on the piano and with an introduction by dramaturg Lars Gebhardt.
Favourites ... with Flurina Stucki
Welcome to "Klänge der Heimat" from Johann Strauss' operetta DIE FLEDERMAUS - with soprano Flurina Stucki, scholarship holder of the Förderkreis in the 2018/19 season, and John Parr on piano as well as a short introduction by Jörg Königsdorf.
Förderkreis receives impressive introduction to ANTIKRIST
The mouth that speaks big words
More than 100 interested members came to the third Bergfest of the Deutsche Oper Berlin's Förderkreis to get a first impression of the new production of the rarely performed opera ANTIKRIST by the Danish composer Rued Langgaard. Interviews with the director Ersan Mondtag and the musical director Stephan Zilias, which were entertainingly presented by dramaturge Lars Gebhardt, showed how complex the material of this opera is and above all how topical a work that was written 100 years ago can be.
