Deutsche Oper Berlin
Aida at Deutsche Oper Berlin
A haunting, immersive Aida where memory eclipses reality and love unravels in silence—Verdi reimagined as an intimate, fractured contemporary drama.

Deutsche Oper Berlin
Tannhäuser at Deutsche Oper Berlin (2025)
A richly traditional production that opens into a sharp meditation on conformity, desire, and the cost of stepping outside of social norm.
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Elektra at Deutsche Oper Berlin
A haunting, sand-filled descent into grief, obsession, and the weight of inherited trauma—where even wealth or pearls of wisdom won’t save you from being slowly pulled under.
Staatsballett Berlin
A Midsummer Night's Dream by Staatsballett Berlin
This production of A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM by Staatsballett Berlin breathes fresh life into Shakespeare’s classic, blending contemporary aesthetics with timeless themes of love, power, and transformation.
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Ab in den Ring! at Deutsche Oper Berlin (Tischlerei)
Tutti d*amore succeeds in repurposing a century-old operetta for a contemporary audience while making a strong case for operetta as a modern vehicle for social commentary.
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Die Frau ohne Schatten at Deutsche Oper Berlin
By stripping away the fairy tale, Kratzer reveals something far more human: the complexities of relationships, the weight of expectation, and the courage it takes to carve one’s own path.
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Der fliegende Holländer at Deutsche Oper Berlin
Spuck’s HOLLÄNDER strips away excess and focuses on the psychological and emotional turmoil at the opera’s core. The production’s minimalism enhances rather than diminishes the drama, drawing the audience into a world where obsession, fate, and redemption blur together.
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Turandot at Deutsche Oper Berlin
By placing TURANDOT within a rigidly controlled dystopia—where press is restricted, police surveil the public, and dissent is crushed—the opera’s otherwise fantastical premise gains a sense of political logic.
Staatsballett Berlin
William Forsythe by Staatsballett Berlin
What I most enjoy about Forsythe‘s work is the androgyny of the choreographies: often, male and female dancers make very similar movements, equally fierce and fluid, breaking some gendered conventions the perception of dance.
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Nabucco at Deutsche Oper Berlin
While the production may not have intended to make a political statement, the parallels were personally difficult to ignore. This serves as a reminder that opera, like all art, is inherently political, and exists in the context of our reality.
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Das schlaue Füchslein at Deutsche Oper Berlin
While it might appear that this is a tale for children, the story conveys very adult topics like sexuality, loss of a loved one, revenge, unfulfilled relationships, and regret late in life. As so often with children’s fairytales, two stories are being told in parallel.
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Il Viaggio a Reims at Deutsche Oper Berlin
Originally written in 1825 to commemorate the aforementioned coronation, IL VIAGGIO A REIMS is less of a traditional narrative opera and rather a “scenic cantata”—a glittering excuse to showcase the greatest vocal talent of its time.
