The first volume, Die Staatsoper im Schiller Theater, tells the story of the Berliner Staatsoper at the Schiller Theater from 2010 to 2017. The opera company premiered over 100 new works of musical theatre, performed over 550 concerts, and hosted around 2,500 events during this time. The repertoire during the seven years included works from the Baroque period through to world premieres as well as classical, romantic, and contemporary pieces. The theatre itself was a 'first-class temporary venue' (Daniel Barenboim) - an inspiring space that facilitated a productive time for the artists, combining the charm of the 1950s with the spirit of the present day. The images and texts illuminate the last seven years of the Staatsoper's history, bringing the period at the Schiller Theatre to life.
