Giacomo Puccini - Melodramma in three acts - Libretto by Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica!

The literary model for Puccini's "Torture Opera" (Oskar Bie) was provided by Victorien Sardou (1831-1908) with his successful play LA TOSCA, which premiered in 1887 in Paris with Sarah Bernhardt in the title role.

After Puccini had experienced the play on a tour in Milan in 1889, he was immediately enthusiastic about the material. But the TOSCA plan initially lasts six years until Puccini, presumably inspired by another performance of the Sardou drama in Florence and Luigi Illica's work on a TOSCA libretto for the composer Alberto Franchetti (1860-1942), finds interest in the material. After a "conspiracy" between Puccini, Illica and Ricordi, the publisher succeeds in persuading Franchetti to abandon his TOSCA project and to give Puccini the rights to set the music.

Info: Deutsche Oper Berlin

On November 7, 1912, the Deutsches Opernhaus was inaugurated with FIDELIO and, in the following decades, served as a stage especially for Puccini's and Wagner's works. The house has remained faithful to the democratic ideal of a citizen opera after its destruction in World War II: Fritz Bornemann's new building, opened in 1961, is intended as a framework for a modern music theatre, which can be experienced from all seats as a total work of art.

Great every time! Absolutely recommendable! Get2card is recognized without any problems! And with just one card purchase, the card has already paid for itself!!!

Smooth buying of tickets with friendly staff. Grandiose places and a wonderful bizarre performance (Salome)!
What I didn't know until then: On the day of the performance there must be a valid get2card. Not (only) on the day of purchase.
(I had a sample get2card for 3 months at the first attempt to buy the cards.)

Reibungsloses Kaufen der Tickets bei freundlichem Personal. Grandiose Plätze und eine wunderbar bizarre Vorstellung (Salome)!
Was ich bis dahin nicht wusste: Am Tag der Vorstellung muss es eine gültige get2card geben. Nicht (nur) am Tag des Kaufes.
(Ich hatte eine Probe get2card für 3 Monate beim ersten Versuch die Karten zu kaufen.)
