DEUTSCHE OPER BERLIN

Directing and Production Assistant at Deutsche Oper Berlin

TISCHLEREI – Season 2017/18

During the 2017/18 season, I worked as a Directors and Production Assistant at TISCHLEREI, the Deutsche Oper Berlin’s experimental performance space. My role involved close collaboration with directors, production teams, and artists across various contemporary and interdisciplinary productions. Responsibilities included rehearsal coordination, assistant directing, surtitle operation, stage management, and touring support. I gained insight into the structure of a major opera house and contributed to both in-house and external productions.
