• Recreating Berlin - Germany •

[ecoba]

Aha, well I've had trouble updating because of the football cup as well !    It is quite peculiar as to who you should cheer for this match. 

Can't wait for another update from Berlin !

Ah well, eventually we can be happy it was "just" a 1:0. It could easily have been a 3:0.  Spain was the much better team.
I am not really a football fan so I don't care much but I was looking forward to the party. 

[Gilikov1994]

no problemo ,

I'm excited what the score will be, sorry but I'm for the Netherlands,  Jonathan
I guess it will be very though for Holland, the score will be 2-1 for the Netherlands, agree ?

your friend, Giel

• Staatsoper Unter den Linden •



The Staatsoper Unter den Linden is the main opera house in Berlin and one of the most
in Germany today. It is located on the boulevard Unter den Linden and hence its
current name, but throughout its history has had others. Commonly known
as "the Berlin State Opera."



Frederick II commissioned the original building on the land it now occupies,
the architect Georg von Knobelsdorff Wenzeslaus and construction began in July
1741, was designed to be the first part of a "Forum Fredericianum."
Although it was not completely finished, the Opera of the Court (Hofoper)
was inaugurated on December 7, 1742 with a performance of the opera Cleopatra
and Cesare by Carl Heinrich Graun. This occasion marked the beginning of a happy and successful
cooperation, more than 250 years between the Staatsoper and the Staatskapelle Berlin, the orchestra
the state, whose origins date back to the sixteenth century.

In 1842, Gottfried Wilhelm Taubert instituted the tradition of regular
symphony concerts. That same year, Giacomo Meyerbeer succeeded Gaspare
Spontini as General Music Director. Felix Mendelssohn also conducted concerts
symphony for one year.



On August 18, 1843, the theater was destroyed by fire. Built a new
opera house according to plans by architect Carl Ferdinand Langhans in a very short time
The following winter was inaugurated with a performance of Meyerbeer's work,
Ein Feldlager in Schlesien.



In the Second World War the building was destroyed during the bombing of Berlin.

The second reconstruction took much longer. Since 1945, the opera company
acted in the Admiralspalast (today Metropoltheater). Since 1949, the company served as
Opera State of the GDR. He returned to his original home in 1955, after a long reconstruction
- Tion in a free interpretation of baroque forms. The reconstructed theater
Opera was opened again, with Wagner's opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg.

After the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the theater was somewhat isolated, but
still had an extensive repertoire that included works by classical and romantic periods,
along with ballet and contemporary operas.

After reunification, the Opera returned to the operatic world. Important works
who had already been presented in earlier times were rediscovered and discussed their
new role within the framework of the "Berlin Dramaturgy." Baroque Opera in particular was the
center of attention, with Cleopatra e Cesare, Croesus, L'Opera serious and Griselda. These
works were presented by the Belgian director René Jacobs together with the Akademie für
Alte Musik Berlin and the Freiburger Barockorchester on original instruments. In the
1990, the opera was officially renamed "Staatsoper Unter den Linden" ..
