Violetta Valéry sells her time and body to clients both near and far. Her life as a Parisian courtesan provides her with every luxury. But when she is diagnosed with a terminal illness, her world is shattered in an instant…

La traviata

Schiller Theater

Nils Holgersson is flying away with the geese! In this children’s opera by Elena Kats-Chernin and Susanne Felicitas Wolf, our shrunken hero scampers through plenty of adventures alongside his friend Martin, a domestic goose, and turns out to be bigger than he thought in the end!

Nils Hol­gers­son’s Won­drous Ad­ven­tures

Director Barrie Kosky plunges us into a nightmarish, wildly exaggerated satire, with marching noses, rolling rickshaw tables, and caricatured protagonists in garish costumes that straddle folklore and historicism, all unfolding within a cold, bleak setting that feels claustrophobic despite its size. This surrealist story of the insecure and paranoid upstart Platon Kuzmich Kovalyov is transformed into a absurd, kaleidoscopic revue of the vanities, an unsettling collision of Wozzeck and Alice in Wonderland with its own ‘irrational’ logic.

The Nose

With our chamber concert series, the musicians of the Komische Oper Berlin are presenting intense listening experiences at very special locations: from the festive elegance of the Schiller Theatre to the experimental sound space in the Kindl-Areal, they show their very personal side – beyond the big stage and spectacle.

Meta­mor­phoses

When drag performer Meo Wulf joins the Komische Oper’s orchestral musicians and opera studio singers on a musical journey at the queer cathedral of SchwuZ, you know that love is in the air! Who better than the Queen of Love herself to lead us through a Valentine’s celebration in this extraordinary venue? With her exuberant lip-syncing, Meo Wulf masterfully blends declarations of love from every genre into a dazzling drag performance –followed by an electrifying afterparty!

Queen of Love

SchwuZ

In the heart of the desert, three fugitive criminals establish the city of Mahagonny. This ‘paradise city’ has its own rules for living life, fueled by the wealth of men passing through from the Gold Coast. Eating, loving, boxing, and drinking are the order of the day. However, this idyllic utopia soon begins to falter, as natural disasters, excesses, violence, and corruption push the city to its breaking point.

Rise and Fall of the City of Maha­gonny

Long before Oscar Wilde’s interpretation, the figure of Salome already appeared in the Bible. There, the story was about how King Herod, his stepdaughter Salome, and John the Baptist (Jochanaan) each lose their heads—although in very different ways...
