Der Rosenkavalier

Five years have passed since Der Rosenkavalier was first staged at the Volksoper—and Josef Ernst Köpplinger’s production was immediately met with enthusiastic acclaim from both audiences and the press. We delved into the archives and gathered a few voices from the premiere to build anticipation for the revival on January 25, 2026.

Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome back: Cabaret!

At last, the musical hit has returned to the Volksoper. Cabaret transports audiences to the seething, erotically charged Berlin of the interwar years—but the façade is beginning to crumble… With Ruth Brauer-Kvam, Bettina Mönch, Oliver Liebl, Dagmar Hellberg, Robert Meyer, and many more!
