Symphoniekonzert I
Béla Bartók and Antonín Dvořák gave the music of their homeland a face, a voice and a sound, each in their own individual way. Melodic and rhythmic elements that can be considered characteristic of Hungary and Bohemia have found their way into many of their works.

Der Ring des Nibelungen
A myth, an epic tale, a family saga, perhaps all of these things together – that is Richard Wagner's Ring tetralogy. Like a universe, it unfolds a panorama of characters, situations and events that are almost impossible to comprehend in their abundance and intertwined complexity. Christian Thielemann, who already conducted the Staatskapelle at the acclaimed premieres in October 2022, will now conduct Richard Wagner's monumental work as General Music Director of the Staatsoper.

Verdis La Traviata
The last work in the so-called ‘Trilogia populare’, La Traviata premiered in 1853 and was first performed at the Haus Unter den Linden in 1860. After initial scepticism, it quickly became an internationally successful opera. Dieter Dorn's production presents Violetta as a woman who is doomed from the outset but rebels against her fate. In the end, she simply disappears, as if she had vanished into thin air.
from 2 September
Così fan tutte
After Le nozze di Figaro and Don Giovanni, Mozart and Da Ponte collaborated for the third time in 1789/90 on Così fan tutte. For the first time, the Viennese court poet created a subject entirely from his own imagination. Mozart found numerous points of reference for the original composition of arias, duets, trios and other ensemble pieces, right up to the two grand finales.
Premiere at 19 July
