Thanks, it certainly looks interesting. Too bad it shows 'sold out'. Would you happen to know if I could go directly to Staatsoper to check if there are last-minute cancellations?
By the way, any thought on Christmas service at the Berliner Dom? I don't know German so maybe I just missed it on the website, but I can't find what music will be sung.
