Die Staatsoper Unter den Linden, die Staatskapelle Berlin und ihr Generalmusikdirektor Daniel Barenboim sind entsetzt, schockiert und zutiefst besorgt angesichts des Krieges, den die russische Regierung gegen die Ukraine begonnen hat.

Dieser Angriff gilt nicht nur einem Land, sondern der gesamten Kultur friedlichen Zusammenlebens weltweit.

Als Opernhaus und Orchester bemühen wir uns mit all unseren Kräften darum, etwas entstehen zu lassen, anstatt zu zerstören, Menschen im Erleben von Musik zu verbinden, nicht gegeneinander aufzuhetzen.

Unsere Solidarität und unser Mitgefühl gilt in dieser Zeit uneingeschränkt allen Leidtragenden dieser Katastrophe.

Wie so viele stellen wir uns die Frage, welchen Beitrag wir aktuell leisten können. Unsere Sprache ist die Musik! Wir werden bald bekanntgeben, wann und in welcher Form das stattfindet.

Matthias Schulz, Intendant
Daniel Barenboim, Generalmusikdirektor
Staatskapelle Berlin, Staatsopernchor, das Ensemble und alle Mitarbeiter:innen

The Staatsoper Unter den Linden, the Staatskapelle Berlin and its General Music Director Daniel Barenboim are appalled, shocked and deeply concerned about the war that the Russian government has launched against Ukraine.

This is not an attack against one country, but against the entire culture of peaceful coexistence worldwide.

As an opera house and orchestra, we strive with all our strength to create rather than destroy; to connect people in the experience of music, not to set them against each other.

Our solidarity and compassion at this time is unreservedly with all those suffering from this catastrophe.

Like so many, we are asking ourselves what contribution we can currently make. Our language is music and we will announce soon when and in which form this will take place.

Daniel Barenboim, General Music Director
Staatskapelle Berlin, Staatsopernchor, the entire ensemble and staff

Timeline photos

The reviews continue to pour in for tenor Spencer Britten's performance as Janek in The Makropolus Case with Staatsoper Unter den Linden under the baton of none other than Sir Simon Rattle.

Described as "excellent new talent" (KlassikInfo), Spencer continues to "win the sympathy of the audience" (Neue Musikzeitung) in Berlin in this production until February 27th.

Congratulations on this great success, Spencer! #BrilliantArtistry

🎭 „Eine Schönheit 300 Jahre alt – und ewig jung – aber nur ausgebrannte Gefühle! Brr! Kalt wie Eis!“ Für seine Oper DIE SACHE MAKROPULOS hat Leoš Janáček eine ganz besonders geheimnisvolle Hauptfigur gefunden.

Mit Sir Simon Rattle führt die Staatsoper Unter den Linden ihren Janáček-Zyklus fort – in der Regie von Rätselmeister Claus Guth und mit Premiere am 13. Februar. Die weiteren Vorstellungen sind am 16., 19., 22., 25. und 27.2.2022.

Tonight would have been a revisit to my @staatsoperberlin debut! The first thing I sang at the house was Officer in Ariadne auf Naxos. Unfortunately due to a positive Covid test, I won’t be taking the stage tonight.

Wishing all of my incredible colleagues a wonderful opening night. I’ll catch you next time.
