details & tickets
Director Tobias Kratzer has chosen this monumental fantasy opera to close his cycle of Strauss works at the Deutsche Oper Berlin. In Die Frau ohne Schatten (The Woman without a Shadow), Kratzer focuses on the challenge of rekindling a bond that has weakened through years of poor nurturing – an approach that extends far beyond the domestic sphere due to the ethical issues surrounding surrogate motherhood.

BRITTEN: War Requiem
Deutsche Oper Berlin
Strauss’ Arabella
March 7, 15 & 20, 2025
Sir Donald Runnicles, conductor
details & tickets
This final collaboration between Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal marks a collision of two world views: the traditional roles of men and women on the one hand and a modern idea of social interaction on the other. Director Tobias Kratzer turns the spotlight on this disunity between the various character portrayals in Arabella and explores these tensions from 19th-century Vienna to the present day.
