West Side Story: Dinner at the Gendarmerie & Music 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 the wonderful music of West Side Story at the world‐famous Komische Oper Berlin. Relish the chance to see Barrie Kosky's acclaimed prodcution of Bernstein's classic musical.
