The Fair at Sorochyntsi (Mussorgsky): Dinner at the Gendarmerie & Music at Komische Oper Berlin

About the Event

Indulge in a feast for all the senses in the cultural city of Berlin and enjoy a delicious dinner followed by wonderful music by Mussorgsky at the world‐famous Komische Oper Berlin. Delve into the comical, grotesque world of Mussorgsky, Gogol, and Barrie Kosky!

Mussorgsky's opera combines elements of folk opera with grand classicism. A hint of the supernatural combines with village life and superstition to witty, vibrant effect — an impression only enhanced by Kosky's vivid, energetic production.

Start the evening with a culinary delight and allow yourself to be spoiled with a delicious dinner before the concert. The Restaurant Gendarmerie is only a few minutes away from the Komische Oper and offers modern Berlin brasserie cuisine in a stylish ambience.
