If Berlin opera houses were people

The Staatsoper is a diva who changes her mind at any second and has some sort of split personality. Sometimes sweet and pretty, she is most often difficult to deal with. Her style ranges from lavish and impeccable to extremely artistic and strange. Nevertheless, the artistry is her trademark and she will never settle for anything below her level, a feat she achieves through her multitude of big name friends. She revels in her past successes and her beauty while having a hard time maintaining her figure.

The Deutsche Oper is a character out of Mad Men. Very midcentury modern, perfectly dressed but his distinct style will fall in and out of vogue. He is grand and splendid, he may not be as trendy as others but keeps well with the flow. Catering to a large audience of old admirers, affluent patrons, students, young children and many more, he knows how to show a different aspect of himself all the time while remaining likable, friendly and very accomodating. He is more down to earth than anyone and his well thought out words always make sense.

The Komische Oper is a young man with lots of charisma and looks much like a k-pop idol: Extremely flamboyant, kind of tall and wide and muscular but also with androgynous features at the same time. He is always surrounded by suitors of both sexes, which irks you and stirs your jealousy. At the same time, he is so charming and so darn good at his job. He manages to seduce you and make you laugh every time. He also loves to give you gifts (champagne and pralines). While he may not necessary lack seriousness, which he displays sometimes, he certainly lacks depths most of the time.

  1. The Deutsche Oper should have a drinking problem. I wonder how an opera house with a drinking problem would look like.

    The Komische as a kpop idol is wonderful. <3
