Festtage 2025
From April 11 to 21, 2025, the Staatsoper Unter den Linden invites you to the Festtage 2025 around Easter, featuring a whole series of world-class soloists: Vincenzo Bellini's Norma celebrates its premiere in a production by Vasily Barkhatov and with Rachel Willis-Sørensen in the title role. Richard Wagner's Parsifal, directed by Dmitri Tcherniakov, is performed again after seven years, for the first time with Elīna Garanča as Kundry. Anne-Sophie Mutter and Jeanine De Bique perform in the Festtage concert with the Staatskapelle Berlin under the musical direction of Simone Young. Joyce DiDonato also gives her second lieder recital at the Staatsoper.

Puccini's opera drama Tosca
With a stringent dramaturgy and pronounced realism, Puccini created one of his most rugged and dramatic works - a milestone in opera history. In Alvis Hermanis' production, the singers move through a psychologically dense narrative.

Les pêcheurs de perles
Georges Bizet's breakthrough as an opera composer came with this opera. The subject matter, which was infused with the exoticism so popular at the time, inspired him to create a score with colourful instrumentation, enchanting melodies and effective theatre music, which unfolds in large-scale choral tableaux as well as in the chamber-like scenes between the protagonists.

Wagners Der fliegende Holländer
With a romantic spirit, the young Richard Wagner moulded the old saga of the Flying Dutchman into an opera with bold sounds and an almost irrepressible force. Philipp Stölzl's production presents Wagner's work as a colourful pirate story and a fantastically adventurous journey of the soul, with a number of surprising twists and turns.

Il trovatore - a lyrical drama
With this opera, Giuseppe Verdi created a work full of ravishing bel canto numbers and elaborate, dramatic orchestral parts that caused a veritable storm of enthusiasm. The scenes, which are characterised by atrocities, desire for revenge, madness, jealousy, love, despair and hatred, gave Verdi the opportunity to compose extremely expressive melodies, emotionally charged arias and effective choruses.
