Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin live in Berlin

Experience Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin live on September 26th

Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin will perform a concert at Flughafen Tempelhof in Berlin on September 26, 2026. The orchestra is renowned for its versatility, frequently performing operatic repertoire alongside symphonic works and contemporary compositions. While rooted in the traditions of German Romanticism and classical music, they are also known for interpretations embracing historically informed performance practice and a willingness to engage with 20th and 21st-century scores.

Flughafen Tempelhof holds significant historical weight as Berlin’s former central airport, operating from 1923 to 2008. Designed in the Bauhaus style, its monumental architecture reflects the ambition of early aviation and the political climate of the Weimar Republic. During the Cold War, Tempelhof became a crucial lifeline for West Berlin, famously supplied by the Berlin Airlift (1948-1949) after Soviet blockade. Following its closure as an airport, the vast space has been repurposed as a public park while retaining much of its original infrastructure, including the iconic terminal building and runways. The open space presents a unique setting for large-scale events, contrasting historical significance with contemporary cultural use.
