Komische Oper

The Komische Oper is a charming Berlin opera house where the operas and musicals are performed in German. The theater was originally built in 1892 then rebuilt in the 1960s, it has also changed its name throughout its interesting history. Situated in central East Berlin, Westerners flocked here after the fall of the Wall to hear the breathtaking performances by Harry Kupfer and the counter-tenor Kowalsky, whose male admirers used to show their appreciation by showering him with roses.
