Komische Oper Berlin
Senatsverwaltung für Stadtentwicklung

The Komische Oper is an important part of Berlin’s operatic and cultural landscape. It is located in the historic city centre of Berlin-Mitte, between Unter den Linden and Behrenstraße.

The existing complex, which has evolved over time and comprises several listed buildings from different periods between 1890 and 1980, is being carefully upgraded and refurbished. The various historical layers that reflect the rich history of the institution are being preserved and, in some cases, revealed once again.

This sensitive approach makes it possible to retain the unique character of the ensemble while meeting contemporary requirements for comfort and functionality. Modern elements are introduced with respect for the historic fabric, creating a harmonious dialogue between old and new.
