Tonight is the premiere of Le Prophète at the Deutsche Oper. The gay French director of Festival l’Avignon Olivier Py is shedding new light on this grand opera, a masterpiece by the Jewish composer Giacomo Meyerbeer, telling the story of the leader of a Protestant sect.
A good 100 years ago, in the then still independent area of Charlottenburg, the Deutsche Oper was founded in the name of modern music theater, offering full visibility of the stage from every seat. The opera house stayed true to this tradition of citizenry when Fritz Bornemann's new building opened in 1961.
