Family concert: “Má Vlast” (My Homeland)

Kirill Petrenko conducts Smetana’s “Má vlast”

With his cycle Má vlast, Bedřich Smetana created a musical declaration of love for his Czech homeland – its landscape, its history, its legends. Kirill Petrenko presents the six symphonic poems of the cycle, each of which takes us into very different Romantic sound worlds – sometimes majestic, sometimes dramatic, sometimes lyrical, but always full of Bohemian musical elan. The best-known work from it is undoubtedly The Moldau, a lively, folkloric tone poem that portrays the river of the same name.

Family Concert

To this day, "Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks" is one of Richard Strauss' best-known works, not least because Strauss uses the boldness of his orchestral treatment to create a musical depiction of Eulenspiegel's pranks that is as drastic as it is memorable and does not even shy away from the - apparent - end of the prankster on the gallows. Lorenzo Viotti, who not only conducts Strauss' tone poem in this family concert but also explains it himself, returns to the Deutsche Oper Berlin with this Strauss programme, where he made his successful debut in 2023 with Mahler's First Symphony.

Family Concert “Opa fliegt”

Melanie and Marlon have the most amazing grandpa in the world. He is 107 years old and has set 857 records, for instance in slow walking and in arm wrestling with a gorilla. But now, Grandpa Winnie has only four weeks to live and he wants to set his last record: to float away as the lightest person in the world. Markus Orth’s story Opa fliegt (Grandpa Flies) deals with a difficult subject in a touching and gentle way: saying goodbye to a loved one. The Scharoun Ensemble presents the children’s book for the first time in a setting by Michael Langemann.
