Ticket prices in Berlin benefit from a healthy Government subsidy and offer excellent value for money – prices for seats in the stalls at the main Staatsoper range from £85 - £200 depending on the performance. All prices include a local ticket agency handling fee and so will not reflect the face value of your ticket. We charge you the price we pay plus a £10 reservation fee per ticket.

In addition to the three opera houses, for chamber music and song recitals head for the city’s latest venue, the Pierre Boulez Hall – a custom-built venue that offers a breathtaking range of chamber music.

The Kirker Concierge can also assist with booking private guided tours – we highly recommend one of our excellent local guides for a walking tour after breakfast on your first day – and don’t forget to ask for our help reserving a table for lunch or dinner at one of our recommended restaurants.
