Berlin State Opera

Tosca performance on Jan 30 was a delight and they were very talented performers. The inside was beautiful, there were well priced tickets, and the cafe downstairs was delicious. In 3rd rang front row section D there was a loud electronic buzzing/humming that was a bit distracting - I’m not sure if they have some equipment around there. The orchestra was amazing; however there were a few moments where I couldn’t hear the opera singers due to the orchestra so it felt a little unbalanced. All in all I had a great time and the performance itself was incredible enough to abate the minor irritations.

Grandly located at the end of Unter den Linden, it was too cold to truly appreciate the facade. Sweeping entrance with a number of bars but confusing queuing. Sadly, we were out of time to order sandwiches and wine during the interval. This time, we watched La Boheme (wish the costumes had stuck to the 1820s rather than a century later). Impressive sets, although there was an extra curtain call just before the interval and a longish pause between acts 3 and 4. Central seats in the stalls were comfortable with an open stage view. Being so close up front meant we couldn't see the pit / orchestra.

I’ve seen a few performances here and each one has been magnificent. We just saw Mozart “The Magic Flute,” anf it was a great production, full of humor and fantastic singing. Our tickets were 14 euros but not bad— still could see a lot and enjoy the performance!

Really an amazing building with magnificent architecture on the outside and inside. Entrance was easy to find and really nice and polite staff. Then about the main concert hall: incredible beautifully decorated. About the specific opera I’ve seen (in july at La Traviata ): Sat on the left wing on the third row and had a great view on the podium. Quality of the sound: perfect. Same counts for the orchestra and singers. To be honest I find it difficult to not compare this opera house to the few best I’ve seen as the METropolitan, Stopera a.o. Btw: as a student tickets can become very cheap. Buying tickets in advance is highly recommended!

We watched Gods and Dogs here and had an amazing time. The venue itself is pretty epic — great vibe, cool atmosphere, and everything felt really well put together. Everyone we interacted with was super friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend checking it out if you’re thinking of going!

I was pleasantly surprised by that Opera. Interiors, staff, spectacle. Everything is clean and shiny! Amazing feelings after this experience. If you want a nice evening - it’s worth visiting.

Small but a lovely building and space. The theater was lavish and pretty. We got great seats in the balcony and could enjoy the show without anyone blocking our view. The basement area is it quite crowded and popular. To our surprise, a rude older man cut in line at the bar. So be careful down there, seems like some people had one too many and can become feisty! The drinks were around €10 for a glass of wine btw.

Lovely building, comfortable seats but beware that visibility can be restricted in many of the cheaper seats. The website does show you the view from your seat which is very helpful, unfortunately it does not show the person next to you leaning forward and obscuring your view. Production we watched was wonderful and definitely worth the ticket price (€40)
