The Berlin Festtage

Daniel Barenboim’s Easter Festival offers all-star cast opera performances and symphonic concerts, and is a highlight of Berlin’s vibrant cultural season. We are delighted to present a tour which will feature three performances, all conducted by Barenboim himself. Wagner’s first half of the Ring, Das Rheingold and Die Walküre are joined by a production of Berg’s Lulu.
