At the heart of European history and culture, Berlin is a fascinating, dynamic and vibrant capital city, offering a unique range of museums, galleries and concert halls. The construction of the Unter den Linden opera house in 1742 solidified Berlin as a prominent centre for opera, supported by the Prussian court. Berlin's opera scene experienced periods of innovation and artistic exploration, and the works of composers such as Richard Wagner, Richard Strauss, and Carl Maria von Weber were performed, contributing to the city's reputation. Our five-night tour includes two performances at the Staatsoper, within easy walking distance of the hotel, and one at the Deutsche Oper, as well as visits to the magnificent art collections of the Prussian monarchy and the splendid Baroque palaces at Potsdam.
