Deutsche Oper Berlin

Based on designs by the Berlin architect Fritz Bornemann, who is known for his cultural buildings, a new, modern opera house was built on Bismarckstrasse in 1961, to which Werner Düttmann added the stage and workshops in 1963.

The Deutsche Oper Berlin is the largest of the three opera houses in Berlin. The building at Bismarckstrasse 34–37 in Charlottenburg was opened in 1961 and was a replacement for the Deutsche Oper, which was destroyed in 1943 at the same location in World War II. The Charlottenburger Haus is one of the largest theaters in Germany with 1859 seats.The initiative for the establishment went back to middle-class circles in the then independent Charlottenburg. As the economic pillar of the state and intellectual pioneers, the residents of the richest city in Prussia wanted an opera house "for themselves" as an alternative to the "frozen" stage of the court opera Unter den Linden.From 1911 to 1912 the city of Charlottenburg built the German Opera House according to plans by Heinrich Seeling and opened it on November 7, 1912 with Ludwig van Beethoven's Fidelio under the direction of Ignatz Waghalter. With the law on the formation of a new urban community in Berlin (Greater Berlin Law), Charlottenburg became part of the capital of the Reich in 1920 and the house with over 2,300 seats was renamed the Städtische Oper.see also:
