Opera Lounge

Opera Lounge

After a forced intermission of five years, the time has finally come again: the foyer of the Deutsche Oper Berlin with its iconic Sixties architecture will be transformed into a club for the Opera Lounge. The members of the international ensemble of singers will perform twice this season with musical numbers ranging from classical to jazz and talk to rbb presenter Fanny Tanck about their lives and work, while a DJ provides a relaxed lounge feeling during the breaks and drinks can be enjoyed at the bar. An evening for fans and opera novices alike!

Pocket Opera: Lohengrin / Axel Brüggemann

The Solistenensemble D’Accord has garnered international attention in recent years with their one-hour opera versions. With »Lohengrin«, »Tristan und Isolde« and »Tannhäuser« in the pocket-opera format, the ensemble has given performances in Wagner’s villa Wahnfried during the Bayreuth Festival, at Hohenschwangau Castle, where Wagner visited King Ludwig II., and at the Elbphilharmonie in October 2021. The versions performed were programmed by orchestras such as the Iceland Philharmonic Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.
