Guided Tour Special Props

When was the Komische Oper Berlin founded? What do they mean by ‘Komische Opera’ or ‘comic opera’? And what’s actually behind the curtains at the Schiller Theatre? You can get answers to all these questions with a guided tour of the Komische Oper Berlin at the Schiller Theatre. Enlightened by fascinating theatre anecdotes, amusing looks back in time, and digital glimpses of the future, we take a closer look at what’s happening behind the scenes. Experience the magic of the stage up close!

Rain on stage, fog over the stage floor, and large picnic baskets filled with wine bottles and cream cakes — This is what the props department deals with every day at the Komische Oper Berlin. As a prop master, not only must you have a good eye for detail, you must also be able to work a little magic. Find out why it’s not a good idea to indulge in a slice of cream pie, and how sharp the knives really were on stage during a guided tour of the Props Department’s premises.
