Opera
This title is one of Shakespeare’s most frequently performed and also one of his queerest. Two lovers in a fairy-filled for- est are put to the test when they drink a magic potion. This new production of Benjamin Britten’s operatic adaptation is directed by the young Ted Huffman and conducted by Donald Runnicles.
A good 100 years ago, in the then still independent area of Charlottenburg, the Deutsche Oper was founded in the name of modern music theater, offering full visibility of the stage from every seat. The opera house stayed true to this tradition of citizenry when Fritz Bornemann's new building opened in 1961.
