To no-one’s surprise, Christian Thielemann has been named general music director of the Berlin State Opera on unter den Linden.

‘With him, we are ensuring the highest musical excellence for our city,, said culture senator Joe Cialo.

He succeeds Daniel Barenboim and will maintain a conservative line of programming, along with an authoritarian style of management.

He starts in September 2024, on a five-year contract.
