The company of the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the largest opera house in the capital of reunited Germany, went on tour to the Russian city of Kaliningrad.

Originally, the Deutsche Oper wanted to perform in the Dom (cathedral), a magnificent 14th-century church and one of the few structures in the city that was not fully destroyed.

The Komische Oper is sort of Berlin's "budget opera house".
By employing lesser-known opera singers (often Eastern Europeans), smaller production costs and a longer season than Berlin's other two opera houses, the Komische Oper manages to keep seat prices down (all unsold seats are offered at 50% off at the box office from noon on the same day as the performance).
Sadly, low budget equals low quality, and it's been a long time since a truly noteworthy production was staged at this house.

 Guardian | Berlin giant quits in battle of the batons
City officials said that the 45-year-old Berliner had cut short his contract, which runs until 2007, in protest at the decision by Berlin's culture minister Thomas Flierl not to put the Deutsche Oper on an equal financial footing with the rival Staatsoper, where the 61-year-old Barenboim presides.
The dispute centred on funding for the Deutsche Oper's orchestra, which Thielemann has built into one of the finest in Europe.
The conflict between Thielemann and Barenboim, two of the greatest names in opera conducting, became inevitable when the Berlin city government decided last year that it could no longer afford existing subsidy to all three opera houses it inherited after the reunification of the city in 1990.

Updated to the late-19th century with no particular iconoclastic ax to grind by director Götz Friedrich, this production, premiered at the Deutsche Oper in 1993 (the taping of this performance was in 1995), is remarkable in its warmth, character delineation, and refusal to caricature anyone.
