Special Orchestra Tour

When was the Komische Oper Berlin founded? What is the “funny” name about? And what does it actually look like behind the curtain of the Schiller Theatre? You will get answers to all these questions on a guided tour of the Komische Oper Berlin in the Schiller Theater. Enriched with wonderful theatre anecdotes, entertaining reviews and futuristic digital views, we take a close look behind the scenes. Experience the magic of the stage up close!

How many musicians actually fit into the orchestra pit? How many members does the entire orchestra of the Komische Oper Berlin have and why do the musicians sometimes play behind a curtain? All questions about music are answered in this guided tour. Together with the orchestra managers, we chat about the allocation of services, meet orchestral musicians in the trench and look over the shoulders of colleagues from the orchestra department.
