Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin live in Berlin

Experience Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin live on September 16th

Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin will perform a concert at Flughafen Tempelhof in Berlin on September 16, 2026. The orchestra is renowned for its versatility, regularly performing operatic repertoire alongside symphonic works and contemporary compositions. While historically rooted in accompanying opera productions at the Komische Oper Berlin, the orchestra frequently undertakes independent concert engagements showcasing a broad stylistic range encompassing Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and 20th/21st-century music. They are known for a precise and nuanced sound, often praised for their dramatic interpretation and clarity.

Flughafen Tempelhof holds significant historical weight as one of the oldest airports in the world, opening in 1929. During the Cold War, it gained prominence as a crucial point of access to West Berlin during the Berlin Airlift (1948-1949), becoming a symbol of freedom and resilience. Following German reunification, it ceased operating as an airport in 2008. Since then, the expansive grounds have been repurposed as a public park and open space, frequently hosting large-scale events while preserving its architectural heritage – notably its iconic modernist terminal building – as a protected historical monument.
