    Schall&­Rausch 2026

The Neukölln Schall & Rausch Festival aims to shake up Berlin's musical theater scene.

With its festival, the Komische Oper proves that musical theater is perfectly compatible with beats, strobe lights, pop and new approaches - without losing any of its depth. The program includes performances and concerts by artists from all over the world, discourse formats and opportunities to get to know the artists over a chat at the bar.

Schall & Rausch 2026: Lineup

Schall & Rauch enters its fourth round in February 2026. The festival for new music theater presents music theater premieres, world premieres, performances, playrooms, gig theaters, concerts, and a symposium with artists from all over the world. This year's participants include South African composers and performers Sbusiso Shozi and Nhlanhla Mahlangul, drag performer Meo Wulf, and conductor James Gaffigan. Benedikt Simonischek will take over as artistic director in 2026.
