Christian Thielemann

Staatskapelle Berlin

"The Fantastic" is the theme of this season's chamber concerts in the Apollosaal, based on the season's first opera premiere, Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann . Musicians of the Staatskapelle Berlin have developed programs that approach this idea and concept, which play a key role in music, in a variety of ways. Ranging from the Baroque to the present day, with a special focus on the Romantic period, "The Fantastic" will be explored with a variety of chamber music works in diverse ensembles.

Chamber Concert IX

Berlin State Opera

Beethoven on Bebelplatz – this is what the Staatskapelle Berlin and its General Music Director Christian Thielemann offer the audience at "State Opera for All," open-air and free of charge for all interested parties. The diverse, vividly sculpted natural images of Symphony No. 6, the Pastorale , can be experienced, as can the drama and powerful surges of the Egmont Overture, inspired by Goethe's heroic tragedy. These are two of Beethoven's most distinguished orchestral works, performed by the Staatskapelle Berlin, which can look back on a long-standing Beethoven tradition.
