Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin live in Berlin

Experience Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin live on October 3rd

Orchester der Komischen Oper Berlin will perform a concert at Flughafen Tempelhof in Berlin on October 3, 2026. The orchestra is known for its versatile repertoire, frequently performing operatic and ballet scores alongside symphonic works. While rooted in the traditions of German Romanticism and early 20th-century music, they also regularly engage with contemporary compositions and innovative staging concepts reflecting the Komische Oper Berlin’s overall artistic profile.

Flughafen Tempelhof holds significant historical and cultural importance for Berlin. Opened in 1929, it was one of the world’s largest airports at the time and a landmark example of pre-war modernist architecture. During the Cold War, Tempelhof became a crucial lifeline for West Berlin following the Soviet blockade of 1948-1949, supplied via the “Rosinenbomber” airlift. Following its closure as an airport in 2008, the expansive grounds were transformed into a public park – *Tempelhofer Feld* – retaining much of its original infrastructure including runways and historic buildings. The space is now used for recreation, community events and large-scale cultural performances.
