 | | Indeed, in addition to the three operas — the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the Komische Oper Berlin, and the Staatsoper Unter den Linden — two other independent entities are, since 1 January 2004, part of the new “Stiftung Oper Berlin”: the Staatsballett Berlin, and the new Bühnenservice, or service company. |
 | | The Stiftung relieves the financial situation of the Land Berlin. |
 | | Leading each of the four artistic entities — the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Komische Oper Berlin, Staatsoper Unter den Linden, and Staatsballett Berlin — is an artistic director, responsible for artistic content, and a managing director, who is responsible for budgetary considerations and who enjoys the same decision-making power as the artistic director. |
