Berlin (MH) – The open-air offer “State Opera for Everyone” of the Berlin State Opera will take place over two days again this year. As before the pandemic, there will be an opera broadcast and a live concert. “This year the event has a special symbolic power for me as a return to experiencing culture together,” said Artistic Director Mathias Schulz on Wednesday. Due to the current Corona requirements, up to 4,000 visitors are allowed, twice as many as in the previous year when only one concert took place. Access is possible with free admission tickets, which can be ordered from September 3rd.

On September 18, Mozart’s opera “Le nozze di Figaro” can be seen. The new production by Vincent Huguet celebrates its “public premiere” that evening, after it could only take place digitally in April 2021. The performance will be broadcast live from the opera house on a video wall on Bebelplatz (beginning at 7:00 p.m.). Among others, Federica Lombardi (Countess Almaviva), Anna Prohaska (Susanna), Corinna Scheurle (Cherubino), Gyula Orendt (Count Almaviva) and Gerald Finley (Figaro) will sing. On Sunday (1:00 p.m.) there will be large opera choirs, for example from “Nabucco” and “Tannhäuser”, as well as the 2nd symphony by Robert Schumann with the State Opera Choir and the Staatskapelle Berlin. The conductor is General Music Director Daniel Barenboim on both days.
The Berlin State Opera has been inviting visitors to concerts and performances every summer on Bebelplatz in the city center since 2007. The free-entry events each drew tens of thousands of visitors before the pandemic.
