History buffs will marvel at Berlin. The German capital has written entire pages of European civilization. Take in the rococo magic of Charlottenburg Palace, admire the Brandenburg Gate, or visit the Reichstag, a landmark of 20th-century history and now a symbol of a remarkable democracy. The Berlin Underground, one of the most emblematic sites of the Second World War, paints a vivid picture of this troubled era.
This new production of The Silent Woman is one of the highlights of the Berlin opera season. First and foremost, it is one of the rarest works by Richard Strauss. Based on a libretto by Stefan Zweig, the opera marvels at its brilliance and virtuosity. But the evening also boasts two premieres: the Berlin debut of director Jan Philipp Gloger and, above all, the assumption of power by the Staatsoper’s brand-new music director, Christian Thielemann, who succeeds Daniel Barenboim. A milestone in the city’s operatic history to experience alongside the Berliners!
