NO teens, NO future! Neuköllner Oper is a place where people of different backgrounds and generations come together. Life in Berlin and beyond is our material, and many young people are its protagonists. However, they need to be found – in other words, discovered, engaged, supported, and empowered to make music theatre in a wide variety of formats.
For this reason, Neuköllner Oper can look back on more than 40 years of expertise in identifying and nurturing talent. Over the decades, it has developed a wide-ranging program in which new approaches are continually tested in order to reach and support new audiences and participants.
NO Jung
Founded in the summer of 2012, the Neuköllner Oper’s youth club develops its own music theatre productions. The themes, music, and staging are largely shaped and determined by the young participants themselves.
NO Kids!
The Neuköllner Oper’s children’s club invites children aged 10 to 15 to create music theatre themselves. No prior experience is required – just an interest in theatre and music!
Berliner Opernpreis
NO award! Since 1997, the Neuköllner Oper and GASAG have jointly awarded the Berlin Opera Prize, thereby supporting emerging international composers.
Musical with UDK Berlin
NO musical! Developed and presented in collaboration with the Musical/Show degree program at the Berlin University of the Arts, the Neuköllner Oper regularly produces original musicals. In doing so, it not only continuously expands the German musical repertoire but also specifically supports emerging performers.
