Since Berlin regained the Staatsoper Unter den Linden, its historic opera house, opportunities to visit one of the world’s greatest cultural capitals have multiplied, especially during the Festtage, the Festival days when major events take place.
The 2027 Festival opens under the sign of excellence with an exceptional recital by Joyce DiDonato, the renowned American mezzo-soprano, who reveals the full range of her artistry in a programme of rare intensity.
The emotion continues with two essential masterpieces of the operatic repertoire: Richard Wagner’s Tannhäuser and Giacomo Puccini’s Manon Lescaut. These two exceptional productions, featuring prestigious casts, come to life on the legendary stage of the Staatsoper Unter den Linden.
The journey concludes with a concert by the Staatskapelle Berlin, conducted by the great Christian Thielemann.

Guided Tours
In order to make your stay in Milan as pleasant as possible, we suggest different themes for visits in the city:
- Berlin Historic Center
- Berlin Wall
- Architecture
- Unusual Berlin
Berlin historic center
Discover the complex history of Berlin in the company of an English-speaking guide who will take you to the historic center of the German capital. You will cross the centuries by approaching the Prussian era, the Second World War, the communist past and reunification. You will understand how the modern city has been shaped by its history. From Hackescher Markt, former Jewish quarter. Museums, a cathedral and a castle and Places and times
Architecture
A city with a unique aesthetic, Berlin has an extremely heterogeneous architecture. The Potsdamer Platz district, completely razed during the war and divided by the Wall until 1989, was the most important reconstruction site after Reunification. Its ambitious constructions and its particular organization condense the main principles of urban planning at the end of the 20th century. In Berlin, architecture is also at the service of the duty of memory. From the outskirts of Tiergarten to the Reichstag, your guide will introduce you to these architectural places that bear witness to history.
Duration: 3 hours Walking tour
Unusual Berlin
Discover how the former no-man's land created by the Berlin Wall has evolved since 1989: alternative living spaces, beach bars, green urbanism, abandoned factory, street art...

We will tell you about Berlin today and tell you the little stories that illustrate the great historical events of the past decades.
