Berlin Opera House Deutsche Oper Berlin
|
|
The Berlin Opera House, designed by Fritz Bornemann, was built in 1961 on the site of the old Municipal Opera House of 1912, which was destroyed during the last war. It incorporates some surviving fragments of the earlier building.
A modern structure of steel and glass 70 m/230ft long, the Opera House has a windowless facade of concrete slabs designed to keep out street noise. In front of the building is a piece of abstract steel sculpture by Hans Uhlmann, irreverently referred to by the Berliners as the "Kebab Skewer."
