A new season, nine new productions packed with operatic adventure! Come and join in, learning about the opera house and people who work there. We meet up on a regular basis, watch rehearsals, meet artist and people in the workshops.
Come to the dress-rehearsal of Massenet's Werther. The young lawyer Karl Jerusalem died in 1772 from unrequited love – a fate, unrequited love, suffered by Goethe when he was 23, which he turned in his novel Die Leiden des jungen Werthers, which young people in those days were besotted with. It inspired Massenet to write his opera, which makes Werther's broken heart and Charlotte's mourning audible on stage, every note filled with emotion.
Always wanted to see an opera about the dark side of human nature? Macbeth is just the thing! Witches myseteriously prophesy great things for Macbeth, making his wife goad him into kill King Duncan, but his bad conscience eats away at him and makes him delusional. Lady Macbeth makes him carry out other atrocities - until her feelings of guilt kill her.
dates:
Werther March 4 (dress-rehearsal)
Macbeth April 26 (performance)
Blood Wedding May 8 (dress-rehearsal)

You must be in possession of a Junior Card to join this club.
If you're under 30, like going to the opera but would rather not go alone; if you'd like a good seat but can’t afford to pay a lot then a Junge OpernCard is just what you need. You can buy one HERE (is activated next day) for €10 and valid for a year. Tickets are only available from the box office, not online, and can be booked in advance. If you feel like seeing an opera then come to the evening box office on the evening of the performance, present your card and you and your companion (who must also be under 30) will be given the best available seats in category III for €15. You can't use your card for first nights of new productions, the performance on New Year’s Eve and some special events.
Existing Junior Cards remain valid for the year you've paid for.
