As the nights grow longer during the dark season, we find joy in cozying up and dedicating time to our dreams. Accompanied by Robin Poell, we embark on musical adventures exploring nocturnal figures encountered in our dreams. The music evokes vivid dreams, twinkling stars, or lulls us gently to sleep – various night music experiences.
The stress sets in on the way to school. You’re too late, nobody wants to sit next to you, other students make fun of you and you’re bullied for the clothes you wear. Your grades are poor, your teachers are unfair, you’re worried because your parents are unemployed – or you struggle with memories of war and having to flee from your home, and these memories are still stuck with you. The planned premiere of IMMMERMEEEHR, by composer Gordon Kampe and librettist Maria Milisavljević, is a piece of musical theatre for children of 8 years of age and older. The main roles are filled by the children’s chorus of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, as well as five soloists from the children’s chorus. The remaining roles are held by four adult soloists and seven musicians. With this premiere, the Deutsche Oper Berlin seeks to follow up on its successful work in the Tischlerei creating a musical theatre repertoire for children and adolescents. However, the goal is also to create something entirely new: A piece in which children are singing and performing on stage for an audience of their own age, addressing topics that were developed in a participative process with director Franziska Seeberg – all as a professional, contemporary musical theatre production. This has all been planned with children of the children’s chorusand a sixth-year class from the Brüder-Grimm-Grundschule in Berlin-Wedding. The children were instructed to write short stories and scenes about their own personal worries, issues and problems, while thinking about possible solutions. Even in the preparatory research phase, the students covered a broad range of topics, from pressure to achieve and experiences of exclusion in school to the traumas of flight and displacement. This material serves as the foundation for a through-composed piece of musical theatre scored by renowned composer Gordon Kampe. The production is geared toward everyone 8 years of age and older, and is to be as accessible as possible, such as via special ...
About the work Hansel and Gretel, children of a poor broom maker and his wife, are sent into the woods one day by their mother to pick berries – as punishment for larking around instead of doing their chores. When their father arrives home bearing a bag full of treats after a successful working day, he berates his wife, because the woods are home to an evil witch. The parents set off to look for the kids, who have meanwhile filled their baskets but then eaten all the berries themselves out of sheer hunger. They also realise darkness has fallen and they’re lost, so they lie down for the night and say their prayers, falling asleep and having a strange and wonderful dream. In the morning they wake to see a cottage made of gingerbread and other sweetmeats. Nibbling at the house, they are surprised by the witch, who takes them captive, planning to bake the children in her oven. Instead, they play a trick on her and push her into her own oven. The spell is broken and all the children who had been transformed into gingerbread by the witch regain their human form. The pair’s parents appear and the reunited family returns home. For over a century Engelbert Humperdinck’s HANSEL AND GRETEL has enjoyed a reputation as one of the most popular operas for all the family. Humperdinck could not resist rendering the story – a dramatic tale for children and adults alike – as a piece of musical theatre, a two-hour symphonic masterpiece peppered with hummable tunes. Translated into over twenty languages, the work remains the first contact for many children with the world of opera. The score does not conceal its debt to Wagner but does not rely on his aura in attracting the uninitiated either. Evergreen numbers of the likes of “Ein Männlein steht im Walde”, “Abends wenn ich schlafen geh’, vierzehn Englein um mich stehn” or “Der kleine Sandmann bin ich” guide audiences through the exposition and remain lodged in the memory long after the auditorium has emptied.

It's Christmas Eve. After the wonderful festivities, little Klara falls into a deep sleep. She dreams of a fantastic journey to the fairytale sugar country, accompanied by the nutcracker, her most beautiful gift. Just like Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky's famous ballet music, the production of the "Kinder Ballett Kompagnie Berlin" takes up essential motifs from E. T. A. Hoffmann's fairy tale "Nutcracker and Mouse King": Before the little girl's journey begins, there is a fight between mice and toy soldiers. When the nutcracker finally becomes a life-size prince and accompanies Klara to the land of her dreams, the girl experiences what it feels like to grow up and that dreams can come true if you take them seriously enough. And finally there is a big party ... The production by David Simic promises a wonderful introduction to the Christmas season. The pupils of the"Kinder Ballett Kompagnie Berlin" dance there. The performance is aimed at children and their parents.
Engelbert Humperdinck's popular opera Hansel and Gretel is often performed during the Advent and Christmas season. This year, a special family version will be played in the Apollosaal, featuring the brass section of the Staatskapelle. Ten musicians will accompany the fairytale with original sounds, familiar melodies, and poetic magic.
