Die Tischlerei - Space for new music theatre and concert
The Tischlerei was formerly a workshop, today it is a space for experiments and installations, for world premieres and play developments. It is the home of our Junge Deutsche Oper, which fills this space with life through children's music theatre, large participatory projects and concerts. And it is the space for our musicians, who invite the audience to extraordinary programmes in chamber and jazz concerts.

Shall I Build a Dam?
Without water, life would not be possible. This work is about guilt and complicity, poetry and politics, viscosity, solidification, evaporation and flowing away. The composer Kai Kobayashi, who has been working intensively with music theatre for years, and the choreographer and performer Simone Aughterlony are working together for the first time. Their scenic project describes a path of inner development and transformation that becomes visible and audible as a spatial process ... With, among others, Noa Frenkel, Ensemble KNM BerlinBlogbeitrag

Children write opera
Gordon Kampe and Maria Milisavljević create music theatre for children aged eight and up. The main roles are played by the children's chorus and five child soloists from its ranks, complemented by four adult solos and seven musicians. With this world premiere, we are continuing our successful work on building up a repertoire in the field of music theatre for children and young people.

Wagner fresh on the table
Ab in den Ring! - World premiere on 28 February 2025
Wagner fresh on the table
The collective tutti d*amore consists of a director, a mezzo-soprano and two tenors. The name is a nod to the Italian operatic tradition, but in a clichéd way: it is untranslatable, the kind of rubbish Italian that sometimes occurs in the German version of Italo pop. The "Amore", or love of music, takes centre stage and they have agreed on certain goals in their six-year collaboration: Oper*etta for everyone is their motto. And they want it to be colourful, wild and highly professional ... tutti d*amore put their own spin on Oscar Straus' DIE LUSTIGEN NIBELUNGEN - and create an operetta spectacle.Blogbeitrag

From solo violin to songs to percussion ensembles, from Josquin Desprez to Mozart's "Ein musikalischer Spaß", Dvořák's "American String Quartet" to Shostakovich, Cage and Xenakis, everything is heard in the special atmosphere of the Tischlerei.Blogbeitrag

Graduates of music academies who have enjoyed outstanding training as soloists are given the opportunity to familiarise themselves with an extraordinarily large opera repertoire at the Orchestra Academy.

Founded by Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff, two German-Jewish emigrants in New York in 1939, the jazz label, which was named after the famous Blue Note of swing, jazz and blues, quickly gained significant importance.
