Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin live in Berlin

Experience Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin live on September 29th

Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin will perform a concert at Flughafen Tempelhof in Berlin on September 29, 2026. The orchestra is renowned for its versatility, frequently performing operatic repertoire alongside symphonic works and contemporary compositions. Historically rooted in accompanying opera performances at the Komische Oper Berlin, the orchestra demonstrates a particular strength in interpreting 20th and 21st-century music, often characterized by a precise and dramatic sound.

Flughafen Tempelhof holds significant historical and cultural weight for Berlin. Opened in 1929, it was one of the world’s earliest large airport terminals and a key infrastructural element during the Nazi era. Following World War II, Tempelhof became central to the Berlin Airlift (1948-1949), a pivotal moment in Cold War history where Allied forces supplied West Berlin by air after Soviet blockade. The airport ceased commercial operations in 2008 and has since been repurposed as a public park, retaining much of its original architectural structure and serving as a space for recreation, events, and remembrance. The vast open space of the former airfield provides an unusual and expansive venue for orchestral performance.
