 Klassik in Berlin
Kay Kuntze's Berliner Kammeroper presented the first of four performances of Shih's Vatermord at the Saalbau Neukölln on October 20th, while the Zeitgenössische Oper, the most lavishly funded of the three, premiered Hans Zender's Don Quijote de la Mancha as a co-production with the Komische Oper on the house's mainstage Sunday, October 24th.
The Komische Oper main hall, which sounds like a carpeted closet to the singers on stage, responds beautifully to the nuance of this type of music, both instrumental and vocal.
The Berliner Kammeroper, the repertoire of which has vacillated between several different operatic epochs since its inception in 1981, would perhaps be less suited for such a partnership than the Zeitgenössische Oper.
