Leitmotifs: ‘I’m not an artist, I’m an enabler’ – Deutsche Oper’s Dietmar Schwarz on past productions and future challenges Pirco Pirco
By Fredrika Brillembourg
Opera singer Fredrika Brillembourg is back with a new edition of “Leitmotifs,” our series on classical music.
Fredrika talks with Dietmar Schwarz, Intendant of the Deutsche Oper Berlin since 2012. They look back on his career in the world of opera and discuss the challenges ahead.
“We all don’t know what’s going on…and that makes me very nervous,” says Schwarz.
Joel Morton, 61, is an American transplant to Berlin. He lives in the Bötzowviertel, teaches English and edits manuscripts. Having moved here for love, the former Bostonian hasn’t let social distancing stop him from connecting with his ice cream-loving neighbors, one number at a time.
