What happens when you give Herbert Fritsch, a brilliant actor and director with a penchant for the eccentric, a symphony concert to play with? We can’t say for sure, but here’s what can be said: Fritsch is venturing into the concert world! His tumultuously absurd Don Giovanni , raging as a playboy on the verge of a breakdown, recently stormed through Behrenstrasse, and if Wagner is going to be staged at the Komische Oper, then it’s by Fritsch. This season, he’s also chasing an Italian straw hat in the company of Herbert Grönemeyer.Together with our Music Director James Gaffigan, Fritsch is presenting György Ligeti’s groundbreaking Poème symphonique for 100 metronomes and inviting us into his own personal musical world—with all its quirks—from Schönberg to Xenakis. Have no fear, he won’t be singing. Well, probably not. We’re looking forward to it!

Artists/Collaborators: James Gaffigan (Musikalische Leitung), Herbert Fritsch (Kurator), Danae Dörken (Klavier), Chorsolisten der Komischen Oper Berlin (Chor), Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin (Orchester)
