Kick drum instead of opera singing: At the Playground Festival, the Deutsche Oper Berlin is transformed into a techno club. The fourth edition will once again take place in the heart of the opera house, on the stage of the Grosses Haus: where opera stars normally belt out their arias and huge stage sets stand, there will be partying and dancing. The line-up invites bands and artists to take to the stage, playing electronic music on acoustic instruments and bringing handmade, danceable dancefloor sounds. After appearances by acts such as Brandt Brauer Frick, Ameli Paul and Komfortrauschen, the rave at the opera house has now become a small tradition and an invitation to opera lovers and techno fans alike: no queuing, no stressful outfit choices and no "hard door" - everyone is welcome.

Schubert's meditative "Nachtstück" for piano trio opens a program that explores time and timelessness.

The concert concludes with two timeless Schubert masterpieces: the "Grand Rondeau" for piano four hands and the famous "Trout Quintet". The concert will have two intermissions.
