Two new productions at Deutsche Oper include Verdi's grand opera, written for Paris, in its original French version and Wagner's epic comedy. 

Our third opera is a wonderfully colourful staging of Giordano's lyrical opera set in the time of the French Revolution 

During the day we visit the superbly restored Museumsinsel complex including the Pergamon Museum. We also visit the Gemäldegalerie of old masters. 

Dinner each evening will be at local restaurants around the Friedrichstrasse or at the Opera.
