Grand Italian opera, jazzy rhythms, minimal music, sumptuous waltz icing, romantic feelings, lightness, drama, entertainment, thoughtfulness - and all in one evening! We pack what we love about opera into our traditional opening concert of the State Opera and welcome you to the new 2024/25 season. Artistic director Laura Berman and her team present the highlights of the season. Accompanied by the State Orchestra under the musical direction of General Music Director Stephan Zilias, the new 1st Kapellmeister Mario Hartmuth, the 2nd Kapellmeister Masaru Kumakura and the young newcomer to the musical department Piotr Jaworski, premieres and revivals of new and familiar faces from the ensemble will be presented. Also taking part this year is the State Opera Choir, which, under the direction of its choir director Lorenzo Da Rio, will present excerpts from the opening premiere Satyagraha, among other things. There will also be excerpts from Der Bajazzo , Chicago , The Greek Passion , Der Rosenkavalier , Rusalka and Rigoletto . The concert will be hosted by our colleagues from the dramaturgy: Regine Palmai, Sophia Gustorff and Daniel Menne. Here's to a successful new opera season!
