Berlin has made its mark in Europe by being one of the most creative and cultural cities; with no less than three major Berlin opera houses: the Deutsche Oper, Komische Oper and the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, the capital’s original and most historic house where the great Daniel Barenboim presides.
At the Deutsche Oper an enormous number of opera performances are presented each season and at the Komische Oper, visitors can see modern and thought provoking productions from all periods. Berlin is a muse for artists, peppered with buildings that tell a thousand tales, a booming food scene and rich in history. Brimming with museums, cultural institutions, wide green parks and diverse entertainment options, explore the city’s classic sites such as the Reichstag, Museum Island and the Berlin wall. Roam around art galleries, stumble across hipster markets and authentic eateries serving up the likes of currywurst and pfannkuchen; Berlin is a city with an abundance of options that will perfectly compliment your opera break.

Exceeded our expectations
KR - Milan Opera - October 2025
We had a great time thanks. Transfers were easy and the hotel very good. The highpoint was the La Scala theatre and Rigoletto performance. The seats could not have been better, and the performance was outstanding. We can't thank you enough for making everything hassle free and providing a trip which exceeded our expectations.
