Another intriguing production, 2050- Unsere Utopien, is scheduled to be performed at Radialsystem.

One of Deutsche Oper's first premieres of the year is Ottorino Respighi's opera, La fiamma. This powerful work, about the entangled personal and political conflict of a son and stepmother, is set to captivate audiences on an undetermined date in October.
From the celebrated Quebecois director Robert Lepage, Faith, Gold, War, and Love is an expansive exploration of Germany's postwar history through four scenarios. The exact dates and venues for this production have yet to be confirmed.
Aysima Ergun stars in Elbow, a play about intersectional rage and woe adapted from Fatima Aydemir's novel. While the location and dates for this performance remain unknown, it is anticipated to be staged in October.
Lastly, it is worth noting that the first premiere of the Deutsches Theater season is a piece called The Ship of Dreams, directed by Anna Bergman and inspired by Federico Fellini's film. Details regarding the exact dates and performances for this production are also yet to be confirmed.
As we await further information about these productions, it is essential to remember that the pandemic has significantly impacted arts events, and some productions may have been postponed or canceled.
