Festtage 2026

For the Festtage 2026, we present the premiere of Giuseppe Verdi's Un ballo in maschera and Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier. Both operas feature a stellar cast including Anna Netrebko, Ludovic Tézier, Charles Castronovo, Julia Kleiter and Peter Rose. The fantastic Matthias Goerne will present Schubert's Schöne Müllerin in a recital. A special highlight of the festival will be the ‘Konzert zum Karfreitag’ by the Staatskapelle Berlin under the baton of General Music Director Christian Thielemann. Together with soprano Nikola Hillebrand, baritone Samuel Hasselhorn and the Staatsopernchor, they will perform Johannes Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem.

Dates & Tickets

from 28 March to 6 April

Premiere Un ballo in maschera

Whilst working on this material, Verdi and his librettist found themselves caught up in a whirlwind of censorship: time and again, the work – originally set at the Swedish royal court – came under fire from the censors. The diverse perspectives on identity are the focus of director Rafael Villalobos’s production; like conductor Enrique Mazzola, this is his first appearance at the State Opera.

Premiere at 29 March

Der Rosenkavalier

Following the archaic, dramatic one-act operas Salome and Elektra, Richard Strauss sought a lighter, more cheerful subject for his next opera, in the style of Mozart’s comic operas – a proposal to which Hugo von Hofmannsthal was also happy to agree. Featuring Christian Thielemann, Julia Kleiter, Nikola Hillebrand, Peter Rose and others.

from 28 March

Britten's The Turn of the Screw

Britten’s chamber opera The Turn of the Screw—as enigmatic as it is striking—reflects, through its fragmented structure, the protagonist’s seemingly piecemeal and possibly distorted perceptions and memories.

Dates & Tickets

from 10 April

Sym­pho­nie­kon­zert VI

For Symphony Concert VI, the Staatskapelle, conducted by Chief Conductor Christian Thielemann, presents a varied programme featuring songs by Richard Strauss, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6 and the Overture to Egmont.

Dates & Tickets

at 13 & 14 April

Ariadne auf Naxos from Richard Strauss

Hardly any other opera explores the theme of fidelity – both to one’s art and to one’s partner – as deeply as Ariadne auf Naxos. Look forward to an outstanding cast, including Camilla Nylund and Serena Sáenz.

from 17 April
