Les Contes d’Hoffmann
On 16 November 2025, Jacques Offenbach's fantastic opera Les Contes d'Hoffmann will celebrate its premiere at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden – in a production by Lydia Steier under the musical direction of Bertrand de Billy. With this production, one of the most fascinating works in the French repertoire returns to the stage at Unter den Linden in a new, visually striking interpretation.

Giuseppe Verdis Falstaff
At the age of almost 80, Giuseppe Verdi, who had long since become a legend, achieved another sensational success. With his Falstaff, he found a very natural and vivid musical language full of wordplay, rhythmic finesse and tonal associations. Mario Martone's production features Michael Volle and Gabriela Scherer in the title roles, among others.

Puccinis Madama Butterfly
The opera is based on a novella that supposedly depicts a true story. Giacomo Puccini studied sources on Japanese music, incorporated original melodies and drew inspiration for his sophisticated instrumentation and distinctive timbres. Eike Gramss's production delicately depicts the clash of two cultures in a dazzling Japanese world.

Die Zauberflöte
It is one of the classics in the Staatsopern repertoire: August Everding's production of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Zauberflöte. What makes it unique is the reconstruction of Karl Friedrich Schinkel's decorations, created in 1816 for the former Court Opera House on Unter den Linden – including the famous starry sky of the Queen of the Night, an icon of stage design that fascinates audiences today as much as it did then.

100 years of Wozzeck
Alban Berg's Wozzeck is undoubtedly one of the central musical theatre works of the 20th century and an icon of modern ‘Weimar culture’ as it unfolded in Berlin during the turbulent 1920s. Based on Georg Büchner's fragmentary drama, Berg sets to music the individual's helplessness in a cold world, loneliness, social hardship and the search for humanity – a work that continues to move and impress audiences to this day.

La Bohème from Giacomo Puccini
In a loose sequence of scenes, Puccini and his librettists not only depict a tragic love story, but also portray the subculture of bohemians in 19th-century Paris. In poetic images, Lindy Hume presents the work as a nostalgic look back at carefree, but all too fleeting, youth.
