The Pippi Longstocking team is working on another great children's book classic: The Little Witch has been one of the most popular children's books in this country for generations. Composer Franz Wittenbrink captures the title character's quest to become a good witch in tones that are as stirring as they are touching - including market life, a forest animal choir and, of course, Walpurgis Night! Also on hand: the children's choir of the Komische Oper Berlin.

The Little Witch

Schiller Theater

In 2017, Satyagraha celebrated its acclaimed premiere at the Komische Oper Berlin. Now another work from the opera trilogy by minimal music pioneer Philip Glass is being released, each of which centers on a personality who changed the world: this time it is the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten. The director is Barrie Kosky, who has shown not only with Moses and Aron how powerful and approachable the myth can be in contemporary sounds.

Akhenaten (Akhnaten)

What could be more practical to escape annoying social obligations than having a friend every now and then who urgently needs our help? Oscar Wilde used this mental sigh to create his last and most popular comedy to date, The Importance of Being Earnest . Gerd Natschinski chose the successful material as the basis for a musical in 1964. Max Hopp is staging this "top work of cheerful musical theater" in the GDR with all its quirks in the tent!
